The outdrives are quite a bit longer, so I may machine it down to be almost as short as possible to save weight.

For those curious, it is part # PO-ADT002. Top also makes an aluminum center pulley assembly, but I did not order one. My stock one has been fine for over a year...
You could if you had access to a mill make the outdrive slots larger for the blades to fit.
