Re: force shaft extension

That is only for the leg extension and the bolts to hold it on.
You still need the longer driveshaft, lower shift shaft, and water tube.
Have to buy the parts individually.

Driveshaft is $90 -- 45-F344128
Shift rod is $55 --- 819962
The water tube extension is $15 - no longer available - have to make it.
And the leg extension is $300 --- FA492845T


Take the part numbers, google search them, you can find them for 70% off. (The leg extension is only $120 at boats dot net.)

Hi javsam, nice to hear from you.
How are things? the wife and kids? Hope you have a Merry Christmas.

Re: force shaft extension

thanks for the info. thats a lot more than i thought it would cost. maybe i'll just sell it and look for another motor.

Re: force shaft extension

I bought this same kit (FA492845T) off Ebay a year ago For $125 for my 86 Force 15 hp from a seller that was a mercury dealer. The kit came with everything,shift rod ,leg extension,water tube,shaft,and bolts.It was in a vacuum sealed package.If you really wanted it then,call and ask what the kit consists of.I would think everything needed ,since it is listed as a kit.
Everything is great Roscoe,see ya this summer.

Ok, then maybe I got bad info from the sites I checked.

Ebay is always a good alternative.

Glad all is well javsam.
I met a young lass 14 months ago, we're engaged now and are planning a May wedding. We're still working lots of hours, about 51 a week, down from 62 hours a week last year. Cheers.
