Outboard leg length

[offshoreclassic]

I have a river boat with a short shaft 1986 40hp yamaha that I bought new.I would like to replace it with a new mercury or Johnson,evinrude.<br />Do manufactuers still make a short shaft outboard that will fit my stern height?

Re: Outboard leg length

Yes, some do. Depends on which maufactuer you are after and what type motor you want(2-Stroke, 4-Stroke, Ect.) Yamaha has a 40 HP 4-Stroke that comes in the 15" shaft flavor. Merc also makes their "Classic" motor(40 HP) in both lengths, And new Johnsons/Evinrudes also make both lengths.<br /><br /> web page<br /><br /> Bombardier
