My boat currently has an MC-1 (pre alpha) drive, but the motor is shot. I have a complete MR Outdrive (including inner transom plate, gimbal housing, gimbal ring, and upper and lower units) but am not sure if the drive itself is good. I know the MC-1 drive to be in good shape.
If I cannot find a 2.5 or 3.0 liter motor that is compatible with the MC-1 inner transom plate, is to possible to replace the inner transom plate from the MR and still use the MC-1 drive? I understand there are differences in the plates for steering and TnT pump attachments.
In a nutshell, can a MR compatible motor be mounted to an MC-1 outdrive assembly just by changing the inner plate?
