Default Power steering pump seal kit

My pump has a slow leak. I believe it's the pump/reservoir seal. Found this kit:

Anyone know if it would work?
It's for my 1990 Fountain.

Ok, thx! For $11 can't go too far wrong.
Not sure abt the relief valve. Would you want more or less press in a marine application?

the pressure regulator is different(big nut on rear with valve and spring under), seal kit will work, main pump the same, was told but I never verfyed that they used a bearing instead of a bushing for the marine pumps and they were done by AGR
