1988 Mercruiser Outdrive- need help

[mwilley22]

I was just chatting with someone on Boats.net who told me that our 1988 Bravo One serial number (0c365850) came up to model 5010184AS (Alpha Drive)...our outdrive indicates its a Bravo One. When looking at 5010184AS for an Alpha as indicated by the Rep, under the Gimbal Ring And Steering Lever parts.... ours does not have #3 and #4 around the bearing... actually, ours isn't a bearing... it is more just a plastic bushing.... like the one for model 5120150AS (which is for a Bravo).. any way to confirm i am looking at the right model? Our outdrive came on our 1988 Baja Force 265 originally with a 454. It has Bravo One stickers on it, but the rep i talked to this morning says the serial number came up as an alpha. I need to order about $300 in parts and really don't want to order the incorrect ones.
