Looking for 10 degree struts

Hey guys-

Looks like we're going to start working on the Reel Cowboy. I'm wanting to get the Yanmars lower in the hull and try to do away with my engine boxes. My engines stick up about 4" above the deck and the boxes are 4" above that. The calculations that I came up with is that if the shafts were 6' long and their position was moved from 15 degrees to 10 degrees looks like the shafts would be 6.1" lower at the back of the gears. If the shafts were 7' long, then the shafts would be 7.25" lower. It looks as though that I'll have the room to lower the engines sefveral inches. My Questtion is , does someone have a pair of those 10 degree struts that might fit 1 3/8"
shafts? If so, please let me know so I can send some cash your way.

I appreciate it, John.
