    Is this true?

    I had a guy tell me that all mercury lower unit gears are standard unless you have a sportmaster...

    he said torquemaster gears are standard, the only upgrades are sportmaster...

    I always thought torquemaster gears were a heavy duty gear... just as the sportmaster

    You are correct, TM has same internals as a Sportmaster, not sure if they ever did "Fat Shaft" TM's?

    The 3.0 Torquemasters are fatshaft. I don't know about the gears, but the 3.0 torque and sportmaster have double bearings on the driveshaft.

    The 2.5 Sporty's do too.
    I'd rather be competitive w/junk I built in my garage than win w/stuff I bought.


    I refuse to allow common sense to interfere w/my boat buying decisions.
