Hi,
I'm a long-time owner of a 1964 Pearson Commander. I need to replace the outboard engine. The 9.9 hp 2-cycle Johnson outboards I've used are getting harder to find.
I've tried to see if a 4 cycle engine will fit in the well- it won't and the greater weight will upset the fore/aft balance.
I'm searching for an fresh-water outboard. Do you know the length of the shaft I need? I understand that there are more than one long-shaft dimension. I didn't measure it at the end of last summer.
Also, do you know if any other outboards would fit? I'm looking at the 15 hp 2-cycle Johnson engine, which I understand is the same body as the 9.9.
Any suggestions as to where to find an engine that will fit?
