i though the ssm5 drive had the very long skeg and the bullet was higher resulting in your prop (raised x-dim) being higher?

The diff is,
The actual measurement from input shaft to prop shaft on a #4 to #5 is the same. The only external difference is the length of the lower housing. The internal components are alot stronger in a #5 SSM versus A #4 SSM. If you want more info give me a jingle I will let you talk to the first man to build a SSM for Carl Kiekahfer. He works for us

Not sure about the housing differance, but the hole for the tilt pin is 1" on a #5, 7/8 on a #4, but of course it is possible it has been drilled out.
