    Fleetwin ,Frank, thanks for your input. I compared the 2 LU side by side ,the original short shaft still mounted on the motor, the shift rod height looks good on the Longshaft. As i recall in my repair manual,there is a procedure for adjusting the shifting which i’m sure it will need. More than put it in neutral and spin the prop ,listening for clicking. But that is a starting place.
    When i get the short shaft LU off i will carefully measure the water tube length, shift rod height etc.
    I will then probably have some more specific questions ,with photos.
    Thanks,Jim PSB
