    73 evinrude vs 68 evinrude mounting holes

    I'm looking at getting a 1973 65 hp evinrude to replace the 1968 55 hp evinrude that was on the boat. Simple question as I want to just take the new motor and bolt it on at the guys house is are the mounting holes going to match are they universal? Or should I plan on bringing my drill and using it?
