TOPIC: 1960-61 Merc lower unit

Would the low end from a 1960-61 Merc 800 work on a 1960-61 700...Thanx...CAT*FINk

They're both covered in the same section in the Merc Repair Manual, so they must be almost identical. (It does caution not to use the 700 prop on the 800 housing, so this may not be the case though!) The small parts listing I have only covers the 700, so we'll have to defer to one of the true experts on the subject, I'm sure one of them will gladly respond in time.
