I pulled my drive off to check how well my first bellows replacement job went last year. I am trying to find the correct outdrive gasket kit but all the ones I find are for newer pre Alpha drives. My serial number is 3605794. Aren’t the Mercruiser kits simply “universal” nowadays with multiple holes for all applications of Alpha 1 and older drives? Is this the correct kit even though it says it is for serial numbers newer than mine? https://www.ebay.com/itm/Mercruiser...012562&hash=item4401c7bdaa:g:YNEAAOSwIWVY86eC

thanks
