Bill,
I probably spend more than an hour (maybe 2) doing a oil change because of
adding the fuel stabilizer, heating the engine, fogging the engine,
letting the oil drain to the pan, using a drill to remove the oil from the
dip stick, cleaning up after I spill the oil removing the oil filter (I
always spill some) engine inspection, torquing bolts, cleaning the flame
arrestor etc. They are all jobs that are at my skill level and I actually
enjoy the tinkering.

If I replace the impeller, that will take another 30 min.

That's the nice thing if you have the time, the skill, and the tools to do
your own work. You save a lot of money that way and do not have to wait a
couple of weeks during the busy season to have routine service done on your
boat. I help out folks the best I can if they want to do their own work, and
caution them on what not to do.
