Possible to replace a MC-III outdrive with a newer model?

Hi,
i was wondering if I could replace my MC-III outdrive with a newer bravo model and how complicated it would be.

welcome aboard

are you referring to the short-lived mid-60's MC-III or the Bravo III

so specifically what do you have? if you have a Bravo III, then replacing it with another bravo is easy as they are the same

if you are referring to the mid 60's drive, replace everything from the controls to prop.

Unfortunately it's the short lived MC-III. Do you happen to know how different the transom cut outs are?
Thank you,
Mike
