Well I am going to order the complete water pump repair kit for my 1969 85 hp evinrude. are there any other seals I should change while I am replacing the water pump or is everything needing changing included with the kit?
here is a diagram of my engines lowere unit 85993E

Background on the motor. Hasnt been run for 20 years until last weekend. Was in a So-cal garage for that time. Freshwater only use is what I am told, dont see any reason to not believe that either.
Is it wise to just get the whole kit rather than just the impeller? The engine is very clean, but I am leaning toward the kit since I wont know the condition of the housing until I remove the lower unit.
