1977 115 hp lower end on a

1974 85 hp motor

Yes, I installed the LU from my '77 1500 on my '73 850. The gear ratio is a bit different, so you may need a prop with 2" less pitch.

Re: lower unit compatibility

Does anyone know which lower units (hp ranges/year ranges) are compatible for a 1983 inline 6 115hp?

Bigtown, Generally speaking the LUs from 4 and 6 cylinder motors in the 70s and 80s interchange.
