Ok here are the pictures . I am,questioning ,specifically ,the drive-shaft area. I with the longer driveshaft in place, and then the extension on, it leaves a area of the driveshaft exposed .It would be possible for the shift wires to come in contact with the rotating drive shaft in this area. [a couple if inches inside the extension] I could perhaps zip tie them, or I could turn out a guard to cover the driveshaft from the top of the water-pump housing to the bottom of the exhaust leg. but if Evinrude found no need for it, then I will be satisfied with the way it is.
