parts interchange

[splitshot]

I have a 1977 200 powerhead will it swap onto a 1988 midsection and lower unit ?? i have a long shaft motor, but i need a XL shaft motor...a local guy has what i need (everything except the powerhead)...and so i was wondering if mine would fit ?? XL shafts are hard to come by around here so i'm going to have to try and make one out of parts ...thanks Jason

Re: parts interchange

Let's start at the beginning. We know you have a 1977 200 which is a crossflow. If the 1988 is a 200 also it's a looper and the powerheads will not interchange.

Re: parts interchange

the model number is E 150 TX CEM, so is it a looper ?? i know the E is for evinrude and 150 is 150hp but i'm unsure of the rest, any help would be greatly appreciated..i've got my fingers crossed (please be a crossflow)

Re: parts interchange

That'll work, that's a crossflow too. You can put your 200 right on, you'll just have to use the intake and shift linkage from the 89. No big deal.
