I have a 1992 9.9hp remote controlled Evinrude.

I also have a 1987 15hp tiller Evinrude.

Within this year range, can I put the 15hp carb on the 1992? From the research I've done, there seems to be no difference in the actual motor of a 1992 9.9 and a 1992 15hp.

Cam followers may be different, but if kept matched to carb, you should be good to go. Don’t worry about reed plate spacers, as it will work fine without adding ‘em..and save you a bunch of time😎

The spacers do allow the engine to breathe a bit better. If they weren't needed, OMC wouldn't have put them in
