It will take a little leg work on your end but if you cross reference the part number through the years you will likely find that several years will fit.
Have you tried EBay yet? Usually a good resource.

See, problem is, the part number changed every time the trim, paint, and decals changed. That would be every year, at least.

A quick search shows that the hood latch changed for 1966, and the overall shape changed for 1976. So, anything between those years ought to fit. But check carefully before buying.

My bad, I was looking for Evinrude models. Nevertheless, that one won't work on a 1971. Wrong hood latch.
