Ive seen variations of this question asked but i cant seem to find a concrete answer. My question pertains to the interchangeability of 2.5 litre mercs from the late 90s and early 2000s. Specifically my scenario is that i have an xr6 150 with a blown powerhead. I havnt had a lot of luck in the used outbord market lately but i just recently found a nice complete 2001 150 efi for a good price. The problem is that the shaft length is 25” and i meed a 20” motor.
Can this powehead go on my midsection and lower end? If so, do i need to buy any parts? (Ive seen an adapter plate mentioned in some forums). Is there anything i should be worried about with this type of project?
