Hi folks, just a quick question, I am trying to find a lower unit for my 1989 mercury 4 cyl. It has a jet on it now. The transom to top of jet unit is 18 inches and the jet unit is about 11 inches. I suspect this is a long shaft, but am having a hard time confirming such that I can confidently track down the unit on sites like ebay... thanks in advance for the advice

Ayuh,.... '89, Merc. 4 cylinder What,..??

With an 18" transom, I'd think yer lookin' for a 20" lower unit,...

I'll move this to the Merc outboard forum for ya,...

I researched this a few weeks ago for someone else. Look up my postings and you will have your answer.
