Are you then going to have to repower in another 5 years? That's crazy. That motor should run for many more years than that. Please note that the Johnson is a Suzuki. Not sure if you knoew that.

The valves are a maintenance issue, and shouldn't be a major expense. Should be done as part of your annual tuneup/winterizing, I would think.

The steering and throttle and/or shift cables are another thing. But certainly would be way less than a repower.
