"Can a 20” DT115/140 lower uni

"Can a 20” DT115/140 lower unit be converted to a 25” for a long shaft engine? I’m trying to help the guy I sold the L shaft to get it converted if possible.

I sold a 20” DT115/140 LU that I purchased used several years ago. I think the 20” LU came off of an early DT engine because it had the plastic water pump housing. The buyer didn’t know he needed a XL shaft. I suggested he get his mechanic to swap out the drive shaft based on looking at the parts break down given the case is the same part number for L and XL and the shaft is the only thing different. His DT140 is a ’94 which apparently needs a couple of different parts. His mechanic says it can’t be done. I suggested his mechanic borrow the shaft, spring, and other parts from the damaged unit but I don’t know exactly what is wrong with the old XL lower unit.

I know this is a long shot but I was wondering if anyone had gone through this before. I'm also trying to find a XL lower unit."

Is part # 35 the spacer? It is not pictured. I don't have the full picture because I have never seen an XL. He is in GA and I am in SC. I'm just trying to help him out. He has the old XL shaft and maybe spacer from his broken XL unit. I can ask him if he will send you the 20" shaft and if it is ok for me to give you his contact information.

"Cliff, give me a shout. The 20" drive shaft is avalible. I'm not sure about the shift rod but he should have that too. The change over from 20" to 25" was successful."
