    pull the moda off the braket, pull the OMC steerin toob out, put OMC steerin toob in Yamaha pro50 short shaft bracket, drops in, bolt moda back on .

    Fred does it have to be a short shaft? The pro 50 long shaft looks the same lenght to me.

    Yamaha 40/50 from yrs. 85 to 94 . The distance center's top to lower mount's are the same.
    The length's differ from lower mount down of midsection's.

    there is a snout on the 20" bracket, on the bottom, i've cut the snout off, and refit the seal. the 20" bracket works.

    Please explain what years of yamaha trims can be fitted on the shortshaft OMC 75 ?
    PRO50 units are really hard to find. Can long shaft trim units be fitted with modification?

    "Yamaha 40/50 from yrs. 85 to 94 . The distance center's top to lower mount's are the same.
    The length's differ from lower mount down of midsection's. " so the long shaft trim units can be used. it is very easy to do. you just need a little time, grinder/ band saw , and some spray paint. i found mine on ebay. keep looking you will find one.
