Confirming the 5D10 and TN-xx motors use the same impeller. Also confirming that it is the same as the 5.5 – 7.5hp models, but with a smaller center hole. And yes you can ream it out and it will be just fine. It’s only around .010" too small.
The two lower units will bolt up, but the Gale has a square at the top of the drive shaft, while the TN has splines. Neutral cable is longer on the TN because it has to reach the lever on the tank.
Powerheads are totally different except for the magneto.
My 5D10 would run circles around my TN. Probably because the 5D10 would plane the boat, but the TN just couldn’t quite make it.
