I am resealing the lower unit on my Johnson 5.5 and There is a rubber tube like seal that connects to the water tube on the water pump assembly, does this need to be replaced or is it okay to reuse it? It doesnt appear to be cracked and it looks like it's still in pretty good shape. Also if I can reuse it should I apple a little bit of 3m adhesive around it before attaching the tube?

No need to replace the grommet(s) if they are in good condition. Smear some grease or oil or some other type of slipeasy in the grommet to make the tube slide in easier.
