Sea Bee 5hp - What year?

[narrowlane]

I have just aquired the sweetest little Sea Bee 5hp in wonderful shape. Blue cover and all the decals. I just don't know what year it was made or where I can get a manual for this model. It is a model # 2253614 and serial number 691051. If anyone can help I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks in advance

That is a 57 based on the Gale 5D14, close relative to the similar E/J motors.
