- How many hours should a outboard last for
the reason for that is so there is still trade in value.Most guides are replacing their 4 strokes around 2000 hours.
It all depends on how you treat them.
Regular maintenance such as 100hr oil changes on 4 strokes,plugs,filters, etc.
all help prolong life. also fresh water flush if run in salt water.
On a new outboard that is well looked after, 4-5k hours is not unreasonable.
