Difference in driveshaft length?

[rolmops]

Hello Johnson Wizards<br />This is about 1957 and 1959 35 horse power drive shafts for Johnson Seahorses<br />Does anybody know if there is any difference in length between the '57 and the '59 drive shafts?<br />Or is it only the difference of the key and the pin?<br />As far as the waterpump is concerned.<br />Can the '59 drive shaft with key be used on the '57 with pin?<br />This is part of an ongoing project to run a '64 Duratech Orion with twin '57 35 Seahorses.<br />All your opinions and answers will be much appreciated,<br />Thanks,Rolmops.

Re: Difference in driveshaft length?

The only difference is the pin and key. I have a 1958 Johnson 35 and both work on mine. So I would say that you can use either one.
