I bought a boat with a 1996 Suzuki DT115 outboard. The propeller shaft is bent. The shaft part number is 57610-94506 for the '86-01 it is discontinued. Suzuki doesn't list a replacement shaft but they do list part number 57610-94520 as working for the '92-01. I checked all the part numbers for the parts surrounding these shafts and the only difference is the nut that holds the propeller on. I called a suzuki dealer and asked if the shaft is a replacement if I buy the new nut also? he said it looks that way. So I said I would log onto a suzuki forum and ask before ordering. So does anyone know if I can I use the 57610-94520 if I buy the nut and washer also. Is that really the only difference? It seems strange suzuki wouldn't make this part a direct replacement and include something about these other parts must be replaced also. thanks JOHN
