I have a crack on my oil pan and need a replacement. Will a pan I have sourced with a 1972 build date fit mine that has the serial number 171300. I didn’t see a build date on mine anywhere yet.
Oil Pan Replacement

To make it easier to get the engine out of the boat, I mounted it on an engine stand in the boat and then removed everything from the block. I don't recall the exact order of disassembly, but I do have notes and photos of the reassembly. I've attached one photo that may be helpful to you. It shows the drive train in place and the oil pan about to go on. (This is not the sequence described in the MMI overhaul manual, but it is what worked for me.)
Some cautions come to mind. One is that the oil pan is heavy. Another is that, like me, you may find heavy sludge at the bottom of the pan. If you rotate the engine to get better access to the pan, you may get sludge where you don't want it.
I hope some of this helps.
Jack.
