[five o clock somewhere]

How many hours is everyone putting on there impellers before changing them?
Fresh water boat. Relatively very clean water the lakes we run in.

A gas engine boat is usually every other season unless your putting 100+ hours on them. But in the wrong circumstance it could be every season, meaning a lot of sand mud going through the system would require more often changing. But if you are deep water every other would be fine. There are others here that will say more then that, but hey I am over cautious when it comes to those things, I don't like breaking down.

Genset 1 year. Engines - open and inspect every year, replace at a minimum 2 years.

We average about 70 hours per year. I inspect every year and replace every other year without fail.

New to us boat last July. Trying to do all the necessary maintenance items before holidays. Previous owner left a very detailed log of what was done already. 90 hours on engine’s and this being the third season since replaced. About the same on genny. I will be replacing them all.
