Yeah,pretty much service 'em annually.

But sometimes they wouldn't go a full year, especially if they were not used very much. Many times we had to service water pumps that were only 8-10 months old and the impellers had become molded in a curve from inactvity, producing lower water pressure.

As a marina manager, I have always put water pressure guages on marina-owned boats to protect them from catastrophic failure while in service.

Ditto for every personal motor I have had since the early 80's.
