Hello! I’ve been over in the Tohatsu room for quite awhile, and it’s time to start on this Merc. I’ve got a 2003 Mercury 9.9 manual start long shaft, and I’m wondering if there’s a way to make it a short shaft? It doesn’t look like it’s too terrible of a job, but I’m no mercury mechanic, so I figured I’d ask y’all! Thanks.

Does the motor have a 5" spacer between lower unit and exhaust housing ?
