While doing my spring season start up and oil change my Indmar 325 broke the belt. No big deal as it looked like the original and I ordered a replacement through Bakes Online.

 

while inspecting the belt or lack there of I noticed a small leak coming from the attached pictures, any ideas? I am new to boat mechanics

Could be the pump shaft seal.  

Is it rebuildable or do I need a whole new pump?

 

any part numbers?

Should be rebuildable... you might try wholesale marine for parts kit or possibly bakes online.  You will need to know your pump model #.  Good luck!

Yeah   You can replace the seal in there but one that old, simply replace the entire pump assy.  IMHO  Been there and done that w two inboards now.  Seal in there on Vdrive can be a bear to get out of one that old.  Just replaced mine last year, its a 08'  Housing near seal had hairline crack as its "pot metal" construction. Getting the seal out can be a chore especially one that old.

I'm having that feeling as well, everything is still original on this boat.... I bought it with 210 hours and have put another 300 hours in it in 2 years. The spark plugs I pulled outta the motor were ancient.
