I looked on iBoats and according to their website, this is a 1987 Commercial 7 horsepower.

Yes Rick, I believe you are correct.  Usually, the commercial models did not conform to the “introduces” model year code.  I’m thinking it is a commercial 6.5hp.  They always rounded up on the horsepower which would explain the “7” in the model code.   Post more pictures of the complete engine for a better analysis.   It can  be tough to find the parts books for the commercial models, will look on marineengine.com again….
