Not sure if its the same exact configuration for the marine application, mine was not on the AQ125A. I took off the pump and sent it in to a guy in Michigan, h2opumpman.com, and for about $70 including shipping he cleaned, painted it and replaced bearing and seals. Works great now about 1/4 price of a marine replacement.

Just have to make sure it pumps water in the same direction.

Thanks for the replies. Couldn't find h20pumpman but did some googling and found WaterPumpMan.com, [EDIT: removed email address]
Just called and left message, waiting for return call. Definitely sounds better than purchasing new. Aloha!!!
