Good morning all, I have an outside chance at getting a motor for my boat at a great deal....well it would be if I can get it to work . First question, I think the one that came with my boat is a long shaft, can I replace it with a short shaft motor and just make adjustments to the back end of the boat? The second, and really key part, I am told by the person who currently has it that he is unaware if the electric starter works as it' hasn't been tried, if it does, is it easy to hook up and what are the chances the cables I have now will fit the other motor?
My motor is a 79 Johnson, and this one is apparently an early 80;s Johnson.
Thanks for any help
