1993 Bayliner Capri 1850 4.3lx

The drive has this serial number: DF040053

Any chance one of you guys have a way of determining if this is a Alpha One Gen II ?


As always, thanks for the help,


Paul

PS I'm am ordering a transom seal kit for this drive, I noticed that the Alpha One gen I, has only 4 holes in the seal where the upper mounts to the bellhousing. The original gasket on my has only 4 holes, but I noticed that there is a hole between the studs that match up to a spring loaded check ball on the upper drive. Did the po mess up on an earlier repair and put the wrong seal in it?

It's actually 0F040053 Not DF and it's an Alpha I Gen II outdrive.

That gasket having the extra hole doesn't hurt a thing, and will work on either.
