750 Ft Lbs TQ/750 HP. Shorter than a 3A by about 5" but able to be spaced down up to 3''. The lowers have male splined long shafts and the uppers have long female splines to allow the lowwer to be dropped up to 3'' and still have enough spline engagement. Check the cutaway parts dwgs at the BAM website.

Uses 26 spline big shaft props.
Oh yeah, and shares plugin trans tailstock with other SSMs but not TRS.
Like any other drive, dependability will depend on power in front of it and how it's used, or abused.

I have been putting 900+ to them for over 100 hours in a 10,100# package and absolutely no problems to date. Six is definetly a stronger set-up, and a slower set up as well. I guess Merc quit building #V assemblies two years ago? I would hope parts should be available for a few years to come?
