I am trying to convert a 1987 Nissan NS40C shortshaft that I have owned since new to a longshaft was able to pickup a 1984 Tohatsu M40C longshaft with a blown cylinder head for the donor. In looking at the manual just a little confused can I just remove the driveshaft housing and do the swap or do I first have to remove the power unit and motor cover lower to get at the driveshaft housing? Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you

You don't have to pull the base off of the powerhead.
