Another thing to keep in mind, most of us are lake bound, or at least we are when boating on the lake.
If you have a problem, you're not going to be miles from shore, or from help. Unless you are in the deepest part of the broads and you have a problem, drop an anchor and call/wait for help.
If you were on the open ocean, the need for absolute reliablity is a bit higher IMHO.
But then again, some don't want to take a chance, and change things before a problem occurs. Others prefer to get the most use out of parts and prefer to wait until a problem occurs. Which one are you?
