1996 Johnson 112 SPL Maintenance

[timalabim]

My engine has 161 hours on it. Winterize each year - Run in Stabilized Fuel, Fog, Change Lower unit Lube. Change Spark Plugs every 2 years, Replaced impeller and housing last year. Grease all fittings yearly. Replaced all sacrifical anodes. Visually inspected ignition wires, which look fine.

Has always started and run well.

Given the age, anything I should start looking at in addition to what I've been doing? Time to change wires regardless?

I'm of the "if it aint broke don't fix it" opinion, but my wife keeps telling me I should have it checked out professionally, just to be sure.

Water pump?
Does it have a fuel filter under the cowl?
Pull prop and check for monofilament on prop shaft.

If you have not done it since new, I'd probably do a decarb on the engine. These models are prone to accumulate carbon around the rings (over time) and this is a good preventative measure.
