Long shaft to short shaft??

[ted655]

Suzuki 150 2cycle EFI I have a chance to buy a good powerhead with bad longshaft. Included in the deal is a second "parts" motor, same motor but bad powerhead, good shortshaft. Is this as simple as switching lower units? Or....?? Thanks Ted

I really doubt that Suzi ever made a short (15") shaft 150hp engine for recreational use. <br /><br />You need clarification on shaft length. . . in terms of the transom height it fits.

what JB says, I dont think they ever made the EFI 150 in a 15"(short) shaft. but they may have.<br />they did make it in 20" and 25"

They do fit, but it does sounds dodgy about the short 15" shaft, but I might be wrong ..... the ad said nothing about the first motor without the lower unit, being in good condition, just watchout for that .... good luck

Need to check, but many people today refer to the 20 inch as a short shaft.

Thanks guys. To a Cajun, if one is less than the other then it's short. I take your point that a "true" short shaft is 15" and that seems too short for that much transom weight at that HP, so I bet it is 20".<br />Boy, don't we all need luck when buying a want-ads motor! Thanks.
