Powerhead changeover 115 hp Evinrude

[Joeref101]

Hi. I am hoping someone can answer this question for me. I have a 1982 115 hp Evinrude which needs a re-build. However, the other day I found a well taken care of 1975 115 hp Evinrude. Everything seems the same except the 75 does not have power tilt and trim. Compression is good and it runs well. I was wondering if anyone new whether I could swap the two powerheads. They look like they are interchangeable with each other but I am not sure. Both have mechanical shifters, etc. Any idea's about this possibility? Thanks.

You need to look up bothe engines and see if the base gasket on both are the same part #

Some of the kibbles and bits look different but the block looks the same. I am no expert in 115 and powerhead year swaps. Someone else could probably tell you. I know evinrude didn't change the block much from 74-92 on the 9.9.

Different part numbers.
