Re: powerhead exchange

Check if they have the same powerhead to lower unit gasket part for starters, then check out the driveshaft

Re: powerhead exchange

First thing to do is check out the size of the bolts that hold the P/H to the exhaust housing.

Re: powerhead exchange

The part numbers for the crankcase assemblies, adapter plate, and adapter plate to power head gasket are different for the two years. I would check that out carefully before you purchase. Beyond that, I have no experience with those motors.
