When I replaced one on one of my previous boats I couldn't get the same model number (discontinued) but I got one with close to the same flow rate. Keep the bracket from your old one as, from what I found, the bracket hole pattern had changed, and I simply installed my old bracket on the new pump and all was well.
Also, before you go buy a new pump, sometimes the bearings on the motor shaft at the pump end get some rust in them, and just need to be broke free and a small amount of lube applied (wd-40, or Tri-Flow, or something like that). The pump is quite simple to disassemble and reassemble - would try that first, as it may save you ~ $100 dollars (I now have a spare used pump that works just fine).
