Hey All,
I was wondering if someone could provide some advice as to the affect of shaft length. I have a 1991 Tournament 225 with the engine bracket that had a 1991 Yamaha 225 engine with a 25" shaft. The engine is no longer economically feasible to repair. I found a nice condition 1997 Yamaha 250 OX66, but it has a 30" shaft. Can I do a straight swap out or do I have to modify anything due to the longer shaft length? Thanks in advance for the advice!
