Other Will a Kawasaki driveshaft fit in a Yamaha housing?

[JamesG]

I have a Superjet thru hull housing for my hull and I'm wondering if my Kawasaki SXR 800/750 driveshaft can be fit into it with different bearings? The Kawasaki shaft fits very loose in the Yamaha housing now, but someone told me there might be different bearing sets that would make it fit? Anyone have any advice on this?

Note: The Kawasaki shaft is one long shaft from engine to pump, no midshaft.
Note 2: I will be using Kawasaki everything, but I just want to use a Yamaha thru hull housing.

Thanks in advance, any help is appreciated

yes you can use a different bearing provided you have a set of matched seals to install as well. You would need to run a kawi style pump as well. which it sounds like you are, alot of fx1 guys such as myself have done this. i take it you are trying to use a kawi driveline in a yami based hull?

Yes that is correct. Do you know what bearings/seals I need exactly and where to get them? This isn't something I'm familiar with.

I will get you part numbers but I got my bearing off eBay, make sure it's stainless steel, and my were found seals locally but they ship anywhere, they too have stainless springs inside. stand by I'll look it up it's been awhile. Im using a zxi shaft here, you really want to double check your shaft diameter of the sxr dshaft but I believe it's the same. I have a sxr shaft too but the length is different so it's now a spare..Here are a few pics for reference

20x52x15mm bearings part# 6304-2RS ( check ebay is easiest..or ultimateindustrialsolutions.com ) where i purchased all my stuff

20x52x7mm seals i perfer one double lip and one single lip but either of each will suffice
