How much trouble and work is it to swap a 75 mariner on a set up for a 70 johnson and vice-versa,my new purchase has a ten year older motor(84 mariner)--my old boat has a 95 johnson.Will most wiring and hardware work?

Re: engine swap

nope, all the control cables will be different, and the wiring harness will also not fit. To swap them over (bolt/unbolt) would be easy enough, but to use the same control system would be asking for problems. It is not that hard to swap the wiring harness and controll box over, although just remember that the wiring harness includes trim/tilt meter, tacho and hourmeter, so you'd need to look at the holes in the dash and compare for size etc.
