The K700 appeared in 72.It has an aircooled power head with a water cooled exhaust leg.
There is a pump in the lower unit that supplies water.I believe it is a direct drive no neutral and 360 degree reverse.Clinton has been out of business for 30 some years.
It has a magneto ignition system similar to that of outboads of that era.
You may find some parts on Ebay also aftermarket manuals both original and on cd.

I have the same motor. Move lever towards front of engine is forward, move towards back is nuetral. No reverse!
