This Bay Manufacturing 5-inch Outboard Extension Kit provides a reliable and durable solution for increasing the shaft length of your Mercury 40–60 HP 4-stroke outboard. Ideal for improving propeller bite, reducing cavitation, and tailoring your engine to deeper-water applications, this kit converts your motor to a longer shaft using OEM-grade materials and precision components.
Each extension kit comes with stainless-steel shafts and hardware, plus a spacer housing cast from the same alloy used in factory production. Some housings arrive painted black, while others feature an unpainted sandblasted finish—both extremely durable and corrosion-resistant.
A one-year manufacturer warranty is included.
