Location: Kodiak, AK | Depends on the motor and use. And this gets asked a lot, so your question is valid. I have almost 700 hrs on a motor from 2009, but I put 200 hrs a year on it for a few years, moved and then put 100 on it in four because of where and how I fished. A new four stroke can go thousands of hours with proper car and being run right. You can also look at compression numbers, documentation of scheduled maintenance and just how it looks...if the fuel/water separator looks like crap (or doesn't exist) that'd be a clue. If the wiring looks like crap, that'd be a clue. If you ask about filter and plug changes and the guys said, "plugs?" that might be a clue. |
