    That's why I change mine every year. It's easy to do and just good insurance.
    There will be days when the fishing is better than one's most optimistic forecast, others when it is far worse. Either is a gain over just staying home.

    Most marine mechanics will recommend that you change them every 2 years or so

    I have a 115 merc 4stroke. I went 10 years before changing the impeller and timing belt. The impeller had small cracks in the body. I will change the next time at 5 years for the impeller the timing belt can go 10 easy.
