Thank you for the replies what I was wondering I was charged 10 hrs of labor to change the oil,fuel filter and bleed fuel and replace the raw water pump. I thought that is to much and should not have been more than 4 hrs. Any thoughts on this from experience

5424 manual (on the members area of our website) suggests we change oil 
every 75 hours or every season depending on which comes first.
Impellers should be changed every season, but most are not!  I check 
mine for cracks and wear every season and replace about every 3 years.  
I am guessing the newer impellers are made of something better than the 
old ones as in the old days....  they did not last as long.
Transmission fluid should be changed every year, but I know folks who 
have never done it!   I change mine every other year.  It is a pain!
