if your that far along..go for it..its not that hard, givin the age I wiould pull everything off the transom and reseal..an ounce of prevention prevents a ton of girnding, itching ,scatching and money in the future. I redid a transom once..notice I said once, wasnt what I would call fun.

The tranon to transom assembly doesn't leak too often.
I would check for any play in the upper/lower swivel pins. It's probably worth the effort to replace the upper pin seals and bearing since these are the most problematic.
