i need an evinrude outboard guru
Message:
ok, so i got a great running 6hp 2 cyl 6hp evinrude i plan on running on my 12' alum vhull... but the kicker is its a longshaft off a 22' sailboat, [img]http://www.pensacolafishingforum.com/attachments/f50/1153d1278208389t-evinrude-6-hp-long-shaft-trade-smaller-ob-mikes-6hp-2-jpg[/img] identical to that one, now i would like to make it a short shaft, due to it being such a great running machine and the new impeller that was ninstalled right before i got it, my question is, can i remove the lower unit and eliminate the extension in the housing and the shaft and re assemble to make a short shaft motor, as it sits on my boat is is about 5-6" below the hull of my boat, and it almost hits the ground when i have it down on the trailer... so any info would be great, or any leads on parts to convert it and/or trade to a similar size short shaft would be great Thanks Jammin
