I saw a number of references to gas engine life expectancy in this article....
Marine Engines : Gas Engines - by David Pascoe, Marine Surveyor
...but what surprised me is nothing about 'engine hours' of life??
I know that many marine engines are equipped with 'hour meters', and certainly there sure be some approximates as to engine life in man-hours.
How about it, any folks want to contribute their figures to that subject?? I've been told to avoid anything with over 1500 hours on it as likely they all requires rebuilding or replacement as they approach 1800-2000 hours. ??
