      The top of #5 section is 18 inches. What are the dimensions of the BB? 
I think you'll still have to remove a diagonal because when you align the BB 
inline with the mast, there is a big hunka something (motor most likely) that 
still sticks out far enough to require the diagonal removal. 

       You don't have to cut anything - just remove the diagonal by the nuts 
and bolts that hold it on.

      WAY too early. Any feedback out there yet?
