9.9 Mercury Shaft length?

[Mike Melfa]

Hopefully someone will have an answer for me... I am in contact with an older gentleman
who is selling a (he thinks) a 2007 Mercury 9.9 Mercury Four stroke.....He said the motor is like new and does not know if it is a Long or Short shaft motor...He can not measure it, and I am about 4 to 5 hours away from him. He does have the Numbers on the Motor from his receipt when purchased a few years ago. Does anyone know how to tell by the numbers??????
The Numbers are OR205826 and 1F10201FK Thank You

9.9M is a 15" short shaft.9.9ML is a 20" long shaft. Perhaps he knows if its an M or ML.
While this isn't a repair question I don't think they would hold it against you if you posted in the Merc section.
