Hello I'm new here and have a question about bolt patterns on a 1979 mercury/mariner 80hp 4cyl.
I am looking to swap out a 1996 40hp force with a 1979 80hp mariner. Anyone know what the bolt pattern is for the 79 mercury/mariner outboard? I want to make sure it will match up before buying the motor. I searched through the web and came up with nothing. If need be to make the motor work dose anyone know where I can get a setback plate for the transom to mount the different bolt patterns? I have an aluminum transom and can't see filling and drilling new holes so with any help I would be greatfull.
