Honda 225 Internal Anodes

What would be estimated hours of labor time only for mechanic to replace the internal anodes, thermostats, temperature sensors, and both pressure relief poppet valves on 2003 Honda 225?

I'm definitely not a marine mechanic, but the manifold temp sensors that sit on top of each manifold are easy. It's the third one - the block temperature sensor - that is the PITA. You must remove at least one of the heads to get to it. The internal anodes require the removal of both manifolds. I think the rest of it is pretty easy.

Not planning on mechanic having to remove block sensor. I would think most of the labor would be to get to the 4 internal anodes behind the exhaust manifolds. Would you think R/R of those anodes would be about 2 hours or so? The remaining items in same vicinity so should be accessible.
