What year is this evirude outboard?

[QCBigDog]

Ok, I'm a first timer, came across a 1963 17' Larson fiberglass with a 55 horse Evinrude Triumph with Selectric shift system. I'm trying to figure out the year of the motor and a free manual link.
Anyone?

Okay, that would make yours a '69 model. 55872 is the '68 model.
