Default Rebuild leaking Volvo Penta SX Sea Water Pump?

Just changed all my drive belts and impeller, and now notice that the
Sea Water Pump is slowly leaking. I see signs that it was leaking
before I changed the belts. This is the pump that hangs off the side
of the engine, driven by a belt. Is there any way to replace the
shaft seals or buy a rebuilt pump? The price for the whole pump is
almost $300!!!! This is an unacceptable price since it's only a seal
that needs replacing. I'm tempted to just let it leak (fresh water
only).

Thanks,

Jim
