Re: how many hours is alot?

528 hours is not much for a 2 stroke if it's been well maintained.

1992 - 2010 = 18 years.
528 hours in 18 years = average of 29.3 hours per year
If your boating season is say 7 months long each year, that would be an average 4.19 hours of usage each month. It would be even less per month if your boating season is longer.

I usually average about 15 - 20 hours each month during boating season on my Force motor. That's not to say that I'm an average boater but kind of gives you an idea. My boating season is about 7 months each year. I would put 528 hours on my motor in around 3 to 3 1/2 years.
