I have a 95 rude 200 hp on my boat and want to install a lower unit from a 98 rude 175 hp 60°. I know I have to change the upper drive shaft and shift rod. I need someone to help me on the drive shaft change out. I can handle the shift rod. http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/eek.gif http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/eek.gif thanks.
Model number?
elgin: the model # on the 1998 175---e175glecd
the model # on the 1995 200---e200stleoa--The best I could tell
The drive shafts have clips that hold the upper into the lower, you need a puller to remove the upper drive shaft, I use the hammer part of a large slide hammer, slide it over the drive shaft lock on some vise grips and with two hits the upper is out.
The clip does not need to be replaced.
Thanks Elgin: I think the roll pin through the shafts had me stumped.
