Looks fairly straightforward. Is it shown on Page 202 or 204 here?: https://www.westerbeke.com/parts%20manual/32139_rev4_13-33_parts_list.pdf
Can't quite see if seal will slip over the flange on the end of the crank. Bet if you took the engine, seal and gasket to a tractor repair guy he's do it reasonably if you don't feel comfortable. A crankshaft seal replacement is a fairly simple generic job. There are lots of you tube videos on how. Just be careful not to scratch the surface on the block or crankshaft. I rebuilt an M-30 once. A lot of the work was done by a local cylinder head and engine block shop that worked on cars and dragsters. An engine is an engine. Dennis C.
