I have aquired 3 merc, 2 fitch outboard & 3 alpha 1 merc wheels in the 150 hp range and looking at "possibly" repowering...

In general, which brand(s) of engine shafts are different from one another at the same HP?

All the propeller shafts are the same diameter. All have the same spline spacing but the Mercurys have a greater length of their shafts splined.

These shafts do NOT use the same thrust washers though they are VERY close.
