I look at it as an insurance cost. Trying to squeak extra time out of it is penny wise, pound foolish, IMO.
That number can very wildly depending on the engine and the boat. It's not in the drive on any of the Bravos and can be really difficult to get to if the engine space is tight. I did one once (the whole pump, not just the impeller) in 40 minutes or less on my old boat with a big block and a Bravo3, while drifting in Alton Bay. Access was OK at best on that boat and working on it while it was overheated was a real treat on a hot day...
