Long or short shaft? 14 years 7 months ago #28819

Shipster Topic Author Offline Contributing Member Posts: 340 Karma: 20 Thank you received: 0	Hi All, I'm talking with a guy about a pair of 1959 58A mercs for my Crosby. One is a long shaft and the other is a short shaft. My transom measures 17". Will either of these motors work for me? Thanks. Check this box to be notified of replies to this topic.

Very cool! Pictures?? Thom Check this box to be notified of replies to this topic. Note: BBcode and smileys are still usable.

No pictures yet because it would be after a rebuild before I can get a hold of either of them but rest assured I'll post pix asap. Again thanks.
