Does anyone know if you can swap a 1972 55 HP selectric shifter control box to a 1972 50 HP motor? I have a 1972 50 hp control box and it has a round cannon plug that connects underneath the engine caling, 55 HP box has a rectangular cannon plug. Can I just switch cannon plugs, or do I have to isolate each controll wire? I am at wits end, the only other option would to buy the three position selector switch and mount it in the old box. Please help!

I didn't see a 55hp in 1972, but the 50 hp and 65 hp use the same shift switch. I would just swap the shift switch.
