my Drive Tilt Ram is “mercury 98704” Can a mercury 98704–1” be used for replacement?

When I was changing the hydraulic hoses, one of the Rams where stripped out… mystery over.
The number on the Ram is “mercury 98704” I see one on eBay that says “mercury 98704–1” looks exactly the same…
Can’t find any info that says it’s not… I assume that was the first one made now there’s a bunch of 98704 – XX so maybe that just matches up with the first one?

The lower portion of the bravo-3 of the drive is not original (the larger drive bottom uses two zinks ) which complicates things a little bit...

Thank you
 
have read the older (not -1) is slightly longer than the -1, but didn't specify how much longer.

There are some "98704"'s on ebay right now
