I think if you posted a pic, that would help a lot. Pressure tanks models are typically 1958 and older. Some ran untill 1959 or 1960, but those were 18hp and smaller.

That is not the model number, you sure you posted it correctly?

Yes, a model number beginning with a 50 would normally be a 50hp.
BUT, the first halfway modern 50hp was in 1958, was model #50012, and did not use a pressurized tank.
A model number 50172 is close, but that was from 1971 and certainly did not use a pressure tank and had 2 carbs

So there is a problem here.
Either it doesn't use a pressure tank, or it is not a 50.
The transom bracket may have been changed at some point.
There may be a round plug on the power head that has a model number stamped on it.
