it should be done every

second year (depending on use).



Every second year at MOST. Every year to be really safe.

I killed a new impeller this year from April to Sept. I mean killed dead,
as it it stopped peeing at low RPM and the impeller was toast. A lot of
sandy / silty water will wear one out FAST.

In my area it's mostly salt water.... plus a good measure of sewage in
the city's harbour. On a sailboat the outboard will most likely rust
out before wearing out.
