Hi
I have a BF9.9 electric start long shaft model and would like to convert to short shaft. i'me having trouble here in the UK finding info on what makes the engine a long shaft, apart from the obvious.
I have been told by some people it is the mid section casting and others say the gearbox casting makes it a long shaft, can anyone out there help.
The engine No./serial No. is BF9.9A BABL1100995
Kind Regards
Drm
 
I have done this on a smaller honda, it was the mid section and the drive shaft itself. Do you know the year of the motor?
 
Thanks eneusiis
I believe the year is 1989
Also i will need to change drive shaft water pipe and gear change rod.

Regards

It looks like you will also need a different midsection. See part 2. Part 3 does not apply. Why it is shown...I do not know.

Long Shaft http://www.boats.net/parts/search/Honda/Outboard Engine/0/BF9.9AK LA/EXTENSION CASE/parts.html

Short Shaft http://www.boats.net/parts/search/Honda/Outboard Engine/0/BF9.9AK SA/EXTENSION CASE/parts.html

It may be cheaper just to build up your transom or mount it on a bracket to raise it up. Something like this.

http://thmarine.com/mini-jacker It is around $100.

Some of the Honda parts are not available anymore and the cost for new parts would be well over $600.

I know what I would do.
