Unless a previous owner has changed drives you have an Alpha I which is a good drive for applications up to 300HP. If you have a Bravo ll you will recognize it by its larger size. Hope this helps.

Don't trust the carb cover 100%. If the original one was damaged it could have been replaced with a different one with the wrong info unless the serial number matches your engine.

Here is a picture of the units.. please confirm they are Alpha 1 ..thanks

Crappy internet here in the Caribbean so I can't enlarge the pic but hey look like B lls to me? He drive tower seems too big for an Alpha and the props look big too.

I Agree

Thank you

Not too worry though, I have had a number of Alpha drives and as I said these drives will handle up to 300HP  safely.

Make sure you get some anodes on those drives. You are missing the ones on the trim cylinders.

Good catch CG!
