    Thinking of my winter project already. Wondering how difficult it is to change my 4stroke merc (90) for a merc optimax. Can I use the same controls, steering cables, electrical connections, ingnition? Anything else I’m missing? My brother is a mechanic so at least someone will know a little. Any help would be great. Just trying to decide if it would be worth it. Thanks. mike
