Re: Outboard Water Pumps.....
Funny. I must be blessed. KNOCK ON WOOD. I have never changed a factory water pump out of any of the three O/B's I've had. All Mercs of different sizes. 9.9, 20, and 25hps
The longest rum was a Mercury 20hp carb job from purchased new in the mid 1980's I sold in 2007. That O/B had over 20 seasons and I average about 55 hours per year. SO that's a 1000 hour motor.
Garage kept off season flushed religiously every time.
Maybe I'm lucky? Or they just run longer on smaller O/B's
