We see this engine about 2 to 4 per year and they could have around 150 to 500 plus hours engine hours on them. They held up well but with anything its all about on time with all the proper maintenance. The fuel filters need to be changed at least once a year, Also keep tabs on the sea strainer to clean it out since wakeboard boats water intake pickup / grate is on the bottom of the hull, its like a hoover vacuum cleaner for picking up junk in the water. Impeller changing and sometimes the housing changed out can be more often depending how much junk is ran thru them.
