How many hours of running time would you estimate?

I wrap line around the shaft fairly often, and before moving up to a 24v Terrova I drowned a few cheaper motors. Seals failed or bolts came loose. The Terrova's next trip will be #188 & there's no sign of seal problems. The seals in a Terrova are tough.
