thanks for the links and yes i am looking in to a 115 HP everude witch is similar to the omc i will have to change the lower unit because is a 20" and i need a 24" i was told i can use the power unit with that now my new concern with that will be the steering connected to the omc is longer and the one connected to the everude is short i have to figure out how to transplant that power head to the omc

or can i just put the 20" with out changing anything

If I'm understanding you right I'd say that if the tilt/trim and steering on the seadrive works then yes just swap the powerhead and any needed linkage brackets and ur good to go.

I MAY be wrong but I believe the steering arm connects to the mid section and not the power head

The vertical shaft!!!! I had the same problem on another boat I had. What year is your motor your trying to hook up to the sea drive? If you go with the seadrive.

The issues with a bracket and a 20" inch motor is constantly swamping the motor when you come off plane.
