Mr_Gibbs..... Seems to be is not a deffinite statement. The unit is either larger or it is not. The physical dimensions should be the same, however the gear ratio may be different.

It is possible that your sea drive, like the commercial V6s uses the lower unit from the V8 outboards, and similar to the non-cone clutch king cobra lowers. These are larger, and stronger, but take the same props as the standard v6 lowers. I believe that the ratio is the same at 1.86:1.
