I have twin std rotation '05 175 Evinrudes.
Found a LH rotation lower from a '03 200(?) Evinrude.
I am/was in the process of installing it on my port engine.
Before I tried installing, I noticed that the shift rod was different, so I swapped it w/ the one from my std rotation lower.
When trying to install on the port engine, it would not go all the way up.
After struggling for about an hour or so I realized the driveshaft is different!
The one from the '03 LH 200P is a bit longer so it would not go all the way up.
I'm thinking I could use the driveshaft from my other rh rotation lower.
Question: is it necessary to disassemble the lower to remove the driveshaft?
P/N for the '05 175HP RH driveshaft looks like 5000624, P/N for the '03 200HP LH driveshaft is 5007673.
