I change mine every 3-5
I change mine every 3-5 years, depends on the warranty period of the motor, Tho I do all the work myself!

i wouldnt bother these days.
i wouldnt bother these days. you will never get your money's worth out of a motor if you trade in. your best to keep the motor as long as its running good why change. as the old saying goes. if it aint broke dont fix it

Mine is about 25 years old
My tohatsu is about 25 years old, still goes well. Arthur page does the service when it's due. So don't see the need to get another one
