You should be able to pull it

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.
