You can tell the difference between 4 and 5 by the size of the pin that holds the lower trim ram. The pin goes all the way across the bottom of the gimble and holds both trim rams. If it is 7/8 inch thick then it is probably a 5. If it is smaller, it is a 4. Also, the prop shaft size will usually tell you but some of the #4's have had their shaft size upgraded. If it a small shaft then it is definately NOT a 5.
Agreed on the 2 inch spacer.
I think I got all this straight.

Notice the short cavitation plate and the sacrificial anode on the drive in the picture... see how it looks identical to the SSM IV profile? The drive does appear to have a spacer installed... you can see the place where the rams were installed...

I was referring to the front mounting location where the ram attaches to the gimble. You are referring to the rear ram mounting location where it attaches to the lower unit (or in this case the 2 inch spacer).
