2005 Sea Ray Sundancer 280 Mercruiser 4.3L and Mercruiser ourdrives. What are the outdrives: Alpha One or Bravo 2? I have not attached pics for identification, as I am not allowed to do so.

Many thanks.

Drives, and Bravos are new style swept back shown. The B2 turns a larger single prop then the B1

99.9% sure they will be Alpha 1, gen 2 but best see a photo or refer to the pics posted above. Even if after that you ain?t sure...if the engine doesn?t have a water pump on the front of it...can be even more certain it?s an Alpha.
