Re: Long to Short 1957 35Hp Johnson RDE-19M
Here's what you'll need:<br /><br />Exhaust housing extension<br />Longshaft drive shaft<br />Shiftshaft extension and link or longshaft length shiftshaft<br />Water pipe extension(s) (2?) or longshaft length pipe(s)<br />Long 3/8 bolt<br />Exhaust housing mounting bolts (6?) (same size as the ones you already have)<br /><br />The exhaust housing extension is also critical. There are two possibilities for 35s, but only one for a 1957. Newer models won't fit. You can look for parts from a 25, 30, 35, and 40 (although the 40 would have the wrong exhaust housing extension). You can get these from Johnsons, Evinrudes, Sea Kings, Gales, a few others.<br /><br />The parts are pretty straightforward. Beware of worn bearing and seal surfaces on the driveshaft, as well as worn splines. Might as well buy a new impeller as long as you're in there. Good luck. If you find a used or junked longshaft it should have everything you need.
