It will eventually be in the future for any I/O boat, just like eventually your car will need a transmission. Four Winns does not make the outdrive so it is not typical of one brand of boat or another. They all go eventually, how long they last is based on how well you maintain and treat it. There certainly are brands that may last longer than others, as well as particular models which are better than others.
