I have a Merc500, serial number A131168 (1985), the number that?s stamped on the prop is C8 73136 A40L 13P. I have the opportunity to purchase a complete bottom end. Basically it?s everything from the powerhead down. It?s being advertised as being from a Merc 55 hp, made in the 70?s. The number on the prop is: 48-73136 a4 13p.
1. Are these two props, C8 73136 A40L 13P and 48-73136 a4 13p interchangeable?
2. Is it reasonable to assume that the lower units from the 55hp will fit my motor?
3. Should the motor brackets on both of these motors be the same?
Thanks much,
Tom
