SSMIII or 3A drives?
 

poking around for drives if anyone has extras, PM me SSMIII or 3A

Thx!!

There are some 5's and 3A's in the classifieds. I think you'd want 3A's not 3's for what it's worth. But with your set up, 5's could work with the shorter lower.

I rather keep props deep for what I do, looking at options

Your 3's lasted over 30 years and more than a 1000 hrs why would you want to change?

Can a stock #3 be converted to a #3a using the same #3 drive housing?.....sorry to go off coarse to the OP's inquiry!

why not go stronger if I can? Plus most of the props I end up with are 26 spline I'm not a fan of using adaptors full time

nope it's all different, you can put a prop shaft into a 3, one of the upper gears fits but that don't help much lol

You had like a 100 drives at your house, use one of those!

lol!!!!

non crescents have weaker gears ... no good lol

A little off topic but in case any of you might have an interest.....I have a set of fresh water use only 17 1/2 X 31 Mercury klever props ran on a 3A (big shaft) Top Gun in case any of you are interested. Freshened by Mercury about 15 yrs ago then never used. In boxes, stored, since then.
Pictures on request (I don't see how to add them here), make me a respectable offer.

Scored my 3A's and second set of SSMIII With a 26spline shaft upgrade pretty happy! Also got a set of 17x30 3 blades
