Re: #3 speedmaster question
If the drive is run with high "X" dimension it tends to surface the props, the plate keeps down the rooster tail and keeps a little more water around the prop when running. I don't know anyone that's compared speed with it on or off, but since Merc is putting tem on the new XR's I guess it's worth something.

I've never seen one of those added to a speedmaster.
My 3a's look like this......I think the picture you have is a IV or V drive.
