By Gear box, do you mean the lower unit or the control box?<br /><br />The control box should fit just fine. The lower unit, I seriously doubt.<br /><br />Craig

3 cylinder 70 gearbox (lower leg, foot call it what you like) will not fit your 115. As for the other engines you listed, yes they will fit, but you may find they have different gear ratios.<br /><br />Chris............
