Re: what year/hp?

Your motor is a 1957 12hp. It was made by OMC's Gale div and sold by Montgomery Ward under their brand name Sea King. The mod# you gave starting with GG is a Wards number, the Gale mod# for the same motor is 12d15. This may help when trying to locate parts. Most service parts can be ordered from your local OMC/Bomb dealer or ordered from Napa auto parts.
