The boat is a 1992 Renken and im puting a 1987 3.0 mercruiser in the boat at the moment the boat has a 1990 3.0 mercruiser in it is all the stuff the same on the old motor then the newer one because i have alot of stuff that is new on the old motor and will all the wiring be the same... i think its a 1990 might be newer

Re: Replacing motor

Go up to the Adults Only sticky at the top of this forum, and download a couple of service manuals.
Engine manuals are #10 and 13 for your different years. There are wiring diagrams you can compare. Also has R&R instructions in section 2 of each
Also get manual #6 for your outdrive.

#10 is 150MB. Give it time.
Best bet is to right click the link and save it to your desktop. Then open it.
