"I have an '84 Searay Sevi

"I have an '84 Searay Seville with a mercruiser 140. I need help identifying my outdrive. When I replaced the belows, I bought a kit for an alpha-1 outdrive and the kit they sent had a straight hose but my outdrive had a molded hose. The only #'s I could find on the outdrive were these: 0718750B. I noticed on the Bravo belows kit, that it comes with a molded hose. Could it be possible that I have a Bravo drive on my Searay, not an alpha-1. Or do I even have either one of these. I am not sure. I have read stuff that says it is different things. Need help!"

You know how a Hose has a Pitch to it as you Coil it up,... You have to keep it from Twisting,+ if you do it Right,....
It'll lay Flat.......

Well,.... When you install that Hose on the Alpha,...
If it Binds or Kinks,.....
Just loosen it,+ give it a little Twist 1 way or the Other,.....
And,... When you get it Right,.......... No Kink......."
