Re: Cost to convert long shaft to short on Johnson 9.9?
It will not be worth buying and then converting. Some motors use a spacer between the lower unit and the mid section to extent it to a long shaft. If this is the case on this one, you will need the shorter drive shaft, shift linkage and tube going from the waterpump to the power head. Cost for new parts ??? $300.00 to $400.00 maybe.
I have an older 9.9 that was converted to a long shaft, but my buddy had all the parts so there was no cost.
