My understanding is that if the cannon plugs are the same color, you can get by with it. I am sure someone with more knowledge will come along and give the proper advice.

Should be OK.

Both should have the black plugs, so they should be compatible. The 1972 65hp uses the yellow plug system and would not be compatible. As I understand the difference between the two, the yellow plug system has an additional circuit, which is used to ground the power pack in the 65hp engine, in order to shut it off.
