Interchangable Parts?

[burroak]

Where can I locate literature that will tell me if I can replace a unit consisting of the mounting brackets to the attachments to the exhaust housing from a 77 140hp Evinrude to a 73 135hp Evinrude?

Go to http://epc.brp.com/default.aspx?brands=ej&lang=E and compare the part numbers of the affected parts.

Thanks F_R,

I have done that and the nums are different. I guess my question is, as a unit, are the dimensions of the exhaust housing points different on these two engines.

On the 77 140hp the dimensions are:

x---4.5---x

Re: Interchangable Parts?

While I was hunting and pecking to illustrate the dimensions of the attachment points of the 77, I slowed down enough to let the facts soak in. It seems no matter how old I get, my desire to have something happen overwhelms the obvious facts. It was not necessarily the parts that I was looking to trade out that was important. It was the exhaust housings themselves that are completely different.

So thanks F_R for slowing me down.
