I am trying to figure out the spacer and the shaft lengths on a Honda outboard. My question is if Honda made an extension "spacer block" to convert one of their 20" shafts to a 25" shaft, and visa versa of course, then why on earth do you have go inside and change out the pick up, the shifter, and all of that? I mean, It would only seem to make sense, to me anyway, that as a Honda engineer, that if the 5" spacer block is removed/or added, that the foot should be interchangeable? Two different feet, I know, because of the shaft lengths, tube and all, but same everything above where the space is attached or not attached?
