Friend of mine just had his water pump go out at 250 hours. Granted it was an indmar engine on an axis boat not a pcm and it was a known defective pump on a recall. Here is a pic of his pump.
But it did get me thinking. My 2008 nautique 210 now has over 1,100 hours. The oem part is about $135 bucks and it is super easy. As part of my annual winterizing I pull the raw water pump and serpentine belt and store for winter anyway. then to replace the actual engine water pump is an easy access to 4 bolts. what do you think replace or don't bother on mine with 1,100 hours? http://www.ebay.com/itm/MASTERCRAFT-INDMAR-PLEASURECRAFT-MERCRUISER-CIRCULATION-PUMP-5-7L-RA057027-/172122922921?hash=item2813535fa9:g:nBoAAOSwAKxWY4CK

1100 hours in 9 seasons, respectable if you lived in FLA, damn impressive for a Minn boat!!
Personally would not bother unless it needs it, if it spins easily and has no lateral play leave it alone. |

I agree to leave it and besides spinning freely, not leaking at the seal. |

Are you talking about the raw water pump, or circulation pump that is sometimes referred to as the water pump (especially in the automotive industry) picture looks like a circ pump
