"I have a 2004 Honda 150 (bought new in 05)with 133 hours on it. I spoke with the dealership about the water pump maintenance, asked should I replace it or not? There answer was it should be fine till 200 hours, because I rinse very well after each use and also trailer the boat. The owners manual says after 200 hours or two years.

Your thoughts?

Thanks, Mike"

Any other info is much appreciated.

Thanks, Mike"
