I will try to find the part numbers. I had an older pontoon boat with the newer motor I bought as is. I noticed the prop would free spin at plane and i would have to slow down until prop would grab again. Was very annoying. Previous owner said he didnt experience that. I call "BS", he knew. Any way first thing i did was put on a new prop from suzuki thinking maybe prop bushing was spinning. Part number was on original prop. Had same issue. Thats when i figured someone put this motor on not realizing the shaft was too short. I went through the extension prosess. It was better but steering was more squirrelly. I sold the boat and let the guy know what was up and he said prob prop. I am thinking now that it was the wrong prop for the boat size. Suzuki makes 4-5 different prop pitches for that motor. If you know for sure an extension is what you need, go ahead. If you are running into the issue i had, start with prop pitch. I got extension parts on boats.net accept for the extention spacer. I got that on ebay used with guide pins and shaft bearing sleave already in it. All the parts will have an "X" after part number. "L" is for short shaft parts. You will have to get driveshaft, gear rod, water tube, housing extension, guide pins, spacer bearing/sleeve, threaded studs and nuts. There may be other parts in video. Hope this helps.
Thank you for sharing
