Can someone please tell me if the lower unit from a 1998 115 Ficht will bolt up to a 1996 115 oceanpro? Thanks. A 16 yr old kid asked me, and I don't know. Both are 25" shafts.

Very likely if they are both 60 degree engines, but you will have to transfer the shift rod from the OceanPro over to the FICHT lower unit. I have a '96 Intruder 150 and when I bought it the shifting wasn't right. After much investigating I found the LU had been swapped from a FICHT engine, which used a shift rod that was 1/2" longer than the Intruder.

When that rod is moved over it's best to get new O-rings for the shift rod housing. Also, be 100% certain to set the shift rod height correctly because there is a specific procedure for setting the height.
