Re: Mercury Lower Unit fiting

I would try to find a lower foot from a Longshaft motor. You can adapt but you have to swap the driveshafts and water tube. You might as well rebuild it if you are going to tear it down that far. Just about any 85 hp to 150 in the straight six will work. Ebay has several. Also when you say longshaft, do you mean 20" transom or 25". anyway, you should be able to find one with ease.
