Alpha One - Replace Shift Shaft Seal

Our family bow rider ski/tubing boat has a slow leak coming from the shift shaft seal. How hard it this to replace?
Leaking is from # 36 in diagram

Replacing the shift shaft seal on a boat can be a relatively straightforward process, but the level of difficulty can vary depending on the specific make and model of your boat and the location of the seal.

Are you a computer / spammer ? I’m starting to think so.

That's not the same seal I need replaced. Take a look at the diagram I linked, my seal is leaking gear oil. It looks like there is a complete housing available, but I can't find any info on changing it.
