It looks like the moderators didn't have to get involved. The site removed it automatically.
So just go with the second suggestion. It may take a few links before you find someone with stock but it's there.

You can probably poor boy it, but for a motor that old the whole assembly should be replaced. It all depends on how long you intend to keep it.

The impeller you need is https://www.iboats.com/shop/sierra-18-3082-water-pump-impeller.html
Originally there were no gaskets on those pumps. There are two seals in the top and a grommet for the water tube that will need inspection. If those, the plate and the housing are in good shape you should be OK.
Most of those older units that I work on the owners don't want to spend much money on. So I stick in an impeller and they work fine.
