OMC Cobra 5 degree gear set.

[mattski]

It's time to rebuild or buy new lower unit for my 89 Cobra.
I found a dealer who claims to have a new in the box
lower uint for sale. Great, So I ask if it has the 5 degree
gear set. He said it has the "new" 7 degree gear set..
I have never heard of a 7 degree gear set. Is he blowing smoke or am I wrong about the gears?
Thanks

Originals were 2 and the later ones were 5.
