these parts are used on many motors, no way to track down. post pictures of your motor, with and without the cover.

It is a 1968 or '69 55 horsepower, or a 1970 or '71 60 horsepower. A picture of the electrical panel will tell.

EDIT: A 60hp has a long black plastic terminal strip with a whole bunch of screws for wire connections.

A 55hp has a black rubber diaphragm about the size of a silver dollar on the starboard side, aft of the center carburetor. ( Anybody seen a silver dollar lately?)
