The 45-858712 variant is the XL (extra-long) version, listed by Mercury Marine as Drive shaft-XL, with overall length of 42 inches, width 6 inches, height 1.50 inches, and an approximate weight of 7.61 pounds. In Mercury’s cataloging, 45-858712 is superseded by 881942, and the 45-858711 lineage is superseded by 881938, reflecting updated part numbers while maintaining compatibility for the same lower-unit family. This driveshaft is shown as a replacement option for a range of Mercury Marine engines and configurations that originally used these part numbers, including several 200- to 225-HP applications and related 3.0L V6 lower-unit setups. When selecting this replacement, verify you require the XL\/X-long length variant and that the shaft length aligns with your specific Mercury MerCruiser lower unit to ensure proper fit and driveline alignment. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Aftermarket","offers":[{"title":"New Surplus No Box","offer_id":51657064677678,"sku":null,"price":364.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0940\/0818\/1038\/files\/Ebay_website_image_222c26c0-adb5-4995-9cef-451937aaa5fe.jpg?v=1769465737","url":"https:\/\/plgautomation.com\/products\/industrial-m45-858711-driveshaft","provider":"PLG Automation ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
