I have a 70s evinrude 115hp starflite 135580-e. Wondering if a jet lower unit from a 70s starflite 125hp 125183-c be compatible? Thanks

---Up to 72 was electric shift with coarse spline.----73 to 76 was oil pressure assisted shift and different driveshaft spline..----later models were mechanical shift.---I would say it is a NO GO on this one.
