You should be able to pull it off on your own just make sure:
1- transom mount holes match (or patch old holes and make new ones)
2- throttle and shift cables attach the same way
3- you can use the old controller with the replacement engine. If cables do not match. Get new controller/ignition/harness to go with your replacement ouboard.
That's the basics. Not too difficult. |

No need to change controller if harness contacts on 'new' engine is different from the 'old.(big red plug VS Detz contacts) Just by a conversion harness. |

What are your plans for the old one?
I might be interested in a winter project! |
