Hi folks - anyone have enough experience with the old merc thunderbolt ignition outboards to give me some idea of the differences between my 68 and a 75 I'm looking at buying for some spare parts and controls?
Both are merc 50hp four cylinders.
From what I can find out the controls are pretty interchangable should I expect any issues? (just talking about shift and throttle - I'm going to run my own choke and ignition)
I looked up a few parts to get an idea and carb floats, flywheel, starter etc look to be the same part numbers - but would drive shaft, internal engine parts, ignition parts, etc be swappable?
Thanks for the info,
cheers!
