Thanks for the responses. The engine, and original shaft have been returned, so too late to swap them. The shifter on my boat was always on the port side of the engine, which is also where my shift linkage is oriented.

From the responses, it seems OK to shave a little off the end of the shaft, as long as the attachment point for the linkage is not changed. Best to attach linkage and test that the linkage moves the shifter effectively before doing anything. If enough torque generated to go into reverse, just cut some from the shaft.

Any other feedback is welcome.
