Garry,
The 58 leg was a redesign using the 5/7.5 hp leg correct? Seems the cooling system would be smaller as well too. Thoughts?
Thank you!!

Nope. Only the lower flange of the midsection is shaped to fit the gearcase housing of 5 1/2, but the upper part of midsection is similar to the old one.
The cooling system is exactly the same. The impeller has the exact size and shape of the 18’s one.
Also the gears and shafts are differents from the 5 1/2 ones, with larger diameter…
