Parts compatibility, 69 vs. 71 65HP

[jahughes]

I've got the top half of a 1971 65HP, with a chance to get a complete non-running 1969 65HP.<br /><br />I will probably want to cannibalize the 71 to fix the 69 since it's complete, will the powerhead and ignition parts interchange between these 2 years?<br /><br />Or, alternately, will the L/U from the 69 bolt onto the 71?<br /><br />Thanks for any/all help,<br /><br />Jason

Completely interchangeable, get to wrenchin' !!!<br /><br />Do yourself a favor and change out the impeller before you install the lower unit. Sierra part # 18-3017.<br /><br />BTW good deals on Sierra replacement parts to be found at www.boatfix.com<br /><br /> http://www.boatfix.com/searchsierra.asp <br /><br />And here's a good place to look up part numbers for your motor:<br /><br /> http://www.dougrussell.com/partscatalog/collections/index.cfm?fuseaction=collectdetails&colid=01 <br /><br />Cheers...........ed
