Hello I am sort of new to the forum and I am stuck on a problem with my outboard. It is a 1979 115 EVINRUDE model #115999R with a 20'' shaft. I have found several units online that the sellers claim will fit my motor, but I am getting different answers from some and I would really hate to spend out for something that will not work. Seems to me like this is going to be a crap shoot so if anyone here has any insight or advice on how to get the right unit to bolt up and work I would love to hear it. I have counted the splines at the prop and it has 13. I am not a mechanic but I feel like I may be able to drop the unit if I have to.

1978 through 1991 13 spline crossflow gearcases with the same length driveshaft will bolt up to your motor.

There is no shortage of good used replacements with limited warrantees, so try the salvage yards.

Thanks for the info!! I have not heard of a crossflow unit could you explain the difference? I have found a few used working units but none of them say crossflow.
