Don't worry I got to extended my 1994 150 Johnson in a couple of weeks and all snap some photos of the install for you.

Hey Dragn: Do you have to ream out the midsection shaft area on a Mercury to get the drive shaft coupler to fit? I was a little leary when I did my first one on a OMC 235 I have currently installed. Although you don't have to remove to much material, spinning a hole saw on a 15" extension when you can't see what your doing is a little imtimidating!

i just got back and the boat did awesome!!! it went from barely getn on a plain and blowing out on turns to jumpn up and haul'n *ss! top speed before install was 24 and now she'll do 38 with a full load of fuel 2 men and a dog. thanks to all who helped me figure out what the problem was (especially big shrimpin) and macojoe, i promise on the next project there will be more pics! to answer your question kamikaze, there was no kind of modification. no reaming. the extension pieces for the shafts just slid on top of them and slid into place with no problems.

OMC is the only one that makes you ream *>:(

Some one told me to get a reaming tool, ( i have never seen one) and it makes it real easy to keep it stright?

Maybe it is in the aisle with the left handed smoke shifter
and the muffler bearings.
