Time to rebuild gearcase

[James in Canada]

Greetings all.
I have a 1961 Evinrude 10hp (10022).
The engine runs like a champ but it gets water in the gearcase so it looks like it's time
to freshen up all the seals. Is there a seal kit that will work for this engine like Sierra International 18-2656? I would like to keep this old workhorse in good condition.

Is there anything I should watch out for when disassembling and rebuilding? I'm only
rebuilding the gearcase.

Thanks in advance!
James
