Coupler swap question

[SSTKO81]

I’m sure it’s been covered but I’m gonna ask again. I’ve got and 82 merc 140 that soun the round style coupler, found a guy on Craigslist parting out a late 80s 120 w the triangle coupler. Will they swap?

Yes you can use the triangle but (there is always a but), you will need to change out your Studs/Washers/Nuts to Bolts/washers, then also add Bolts and washers to hold the new one in place. Also note item 31 the rubber bumpers 3 each

Ayuh,..... I ain't so sure as AD,.... Yer flywheel cover may not clear the triangler coupler,.....

Ran into that before,....

Ya know, your right my mistake, Starting in 82 they show both coupler's but only the new flywheel housing. Sure sure hope SSTKO81 didn't buy it before checking the flywheel housing

It worked. Had to make sure my bolts weren’t too tall, otherwise they hit the housing. -was otherwise great!
