TOPIC: Converting SS to LS

Motors are not my area of specialization. How much of a pain in the Botox is it to convert a short shaft motor to a long shaft?

That's going to depend on the make, model and year of the outboard. Let us know what you are working with and someone can give you a good answer.

The motor would be a 1960 75hp Johnson. Somebody here in CT has a short shaft supposedly in good shape and the parts to extend it. I can do basic stuff on a motor, but I have never done anything like this. I'm just looking at this point and I want to know if this is something I want to take on. I need an LS for the Glastron.

Any thoughts on this? Thoughts on the motor itself? Other ideas for a motor?

Save this, p. 14 shows and tells how. Not too hard, people here can help if you hit a snag. web.ebscohost.com/serrc/pdf?sid=55f487d9-8978-4dcc-b2f6-317818f54314%40sessionmgr15&vid=5&hid=8
