    Do all Speedmasters have torpedo widths of 2.44"?
    To give you an idea why these units are so chopped up, here is a photo of the mid it mounts too.

    I measured the torpedo's on both a SSM and the MC1, but cant find them right now. I know the MC1 is bigger diameter, but will take a bigger diameter prop as well.

    So are the units with the 2.44" torpedos marathon units? And related to the speedmaster used on the Merc SST 200 motor?

    I just stumbled on this looking for another old thread. The unit pictured here appears to be the one in post #2 on page 1 with some hacking done on it, although it could be any of the SSM's after the MC1 with the same whacking. To the best of my knowledge there are only 2 diameters of the bullet on the SSM's with the MC1 being the only larger diameter, through the last SSM made BEFORE the VI's and IV's came out. I don't have the diameter of either within my easy reach, but all of 'em had the same small propshaft and would take the same props, with the exception of the earlier style (again, picture in post #2) which had the long exhaust snout that would interfere.

    What's the "story" 'bout these gearcases. These were received with Diablo 3 1-RH, 1-LH but they both have #4/6 propshafts installed. Did the factory make an SSM with these prop shafts, or did someone modify them?

    Roger Ive never seen that done. I bet someone who had a bunch of #4/6 SSM props swapped the prop shafts to utilize props they had on hand.

    That would be my guess
