I just serviced my boat last weekend and was surprised that the plugs looked perfect and all had identical gap. I still replaced them.
The stator oil looked like the day it went in but the pump housing oil was a little more cloudy. Having checked these things, I have a good idea of what to look forward to in the coming year. Sure you can probably go 8 years without service but you better hope there's a tow vessel handy when the unknown hits you.
