Fleetmaster & Sportmaster?

[Avance 33]

Is the Sportmaster the same size as a Torquemaster from top to bottom? Meaning lets say I have a Sportmaster and I change it to a Torquemaster would the water pick up sit in the exact same place the where the Sportmaster water pick up sat? Without changing the height of the engine just a swap of lowerunits?

at least on the new 200xs. the sport has real low water pick up. that is three intake slots under the bullet in the front. the torque has 4 holes in the front of the bullet and several up each side above the bullet. the side holes can suck air if not pluged. i dont know the common number to plug, but it will be the source of sucking air. on the 2ooxs they are both fat shafts[1 1/4 dia shafts]. check merc express for part to part.
