That looks pretty much like mine. The bad ones I refaced (or defaced) with valve grinding compound and put a heavy coating of Lanocote on the whole thing before reassembling. They are a mite difficult to turn in winter but they don't leak. I would advise doing this out of the water. In the meantime, you could unscrew the square nuts on the side of the unit, screw in a zerc fitting, and pump some heavy grease into it while in the water.
