The Johnson model JW-10, 3 hp, manufactured from 1952 - 1954, came in both short, and longshaft models. A measurement of the exhaust housing will identify which model you have.
mercury as well as most outboard manufactures have a number of different shaft lenths to fit different applications here is how you measure get a standard tape and measure up from the cavitation plate on the leg up to the bottom point on the powerhead, common lenths are 15" (short shaft) 20" (long shaft) and 25"(extra long) hope this helps
The 72 in the model number stands for 1972, the W stands for weedless, and the S means it's short shaft.
87 lbs for the short and long shafts..
A 5 hp Mariner outboard will do fine with a 50:1 ratio, one pint of 2 cycle oil, to six gallons of fuel.
Self employed marine operators, usually having ads in weekly want ads or yellow page listings under boats/marine operations. If not comfortable in that, then then the dealership, such as mercury is a top brand too inboard/outboard motors. Depends on your boat, and rather it need an inboard/outboard, and if an outboard, then rather it need too be a long or short shafted motor.
