Any difference between a 1970 and a 1971 60hp johnson?

[thegipper]

Title pretty much sums it up. I can't find a manual for a 1970 60hp johnson (what I have) but I can find an original johnson manual for a 1971 johnson that covers 60hp.

Is there any difference and will that manual work?

There might be a few minor differences that I can't remember right offhand. But at least 99% is the same.

the biggest difference is that the 71 is a year newer..Lol
