No idea. Might want to look around under the cover for more numbers. As I'm sure you've discovered, searching this number doesn't render any results.

The 677 appears to indicate an 8HP model from 1978-1983 according to this website: https://www.autorepairmanuals.biz/page/608055

My information with respect to the model year is coming from a Yamaha proprietary document.

The comment about a Mariner with a 689 prefix is based on my school of hard knocks and observations about the parts that are used on certain Mariner models.

Technically one should be ordering parts for a Mariner model using the applicable parts catalog for that model. Trouble is finding parts under Mariner part numbers for older motors is all but impossible to do.

It will be a Yamaha engine, if she’s of an age from before around 83/84…maybe even just after perhaps. But certainly early 80’s and late 70’s 8hp mariners were the Yamaha engine. As were a few others around that size too. I’d be able to tell for certain, from a picture of her.
