Seems like it is 15 hp? Here is the closest thing I could find on Sears Parts Direct.  It has the “217-58631” part of your model number. Interesting that they call it a Craftsman Outboard Motor now.

I never had one of those, myself and have never seen one run, either. Getting one to run….by somehow modifying or replacing the very problematic ignition system….would be a great personal challenge for me. Where there is a will, there is a way. However, would it be worth it, from a financial aspect? No frigging way. Even if you did get it to run, it would still be only worth what you paid for it. Zero.

Long live American manufacturing!
