I just bought a used boat from a little old lady. Boat is in mint condition and it has a 1999 Johnson 115 J115PLEEM that runs nice enough but I believe needs a new water pump because the temp gauge is jumping up and down... temp pegs at about 180 which I believe is slightly hot.

My question is, should I also do some other preventative maintenance on this engine while I have it in the shop? I do not think any other parts have ever been replaced so is there a part or parts that I could replace now?
 
New impeller.----Make sure it has the correct water pump housing.----Verify that oil injection is working properly if it is still in service.-----New gear oil.---New sparkplugs.
