'73 Evinrude 115 - 115393M - What length shaft is this?

[BOAH]

Can someone tell me the length shaft on my '73 115 Model 115393M? I'm pretty sure it's a 20 but it would be good to know for sure. I'm looking to replace the motor and have come across a Yamaha with a 25" shaft. The transom on my boat looks like it's 22".

Could I make a 25" work or should I continue looking for a 20"?

Thank you for your help!

Measure the transom from the top lip to the bottom of the hull. That will give you the length you need.

I did measure the transom and the length is 22".

Thanks

You could make the Yamaha work but it would be to much trouble and $$$$. Look for the proper length shaft mtr.

If you own a ruler measure the shaft length. With the motor trimmed straight down, measure from the transom bracket to the AV plate. 15" = short, 20" = long and 25" = extra long.
