I usually change impellers based on running time, not age. My target is 100 hours. We have several boats, thus the 3.0 liter Mercruiser gets little use. I usually change the impeller after about 6 years, and every time I do an inspection shows that I really didn't need to change it yet.
Had an overheating problem and had the impeller changed. The entire pump (not just the impeller) was changed 2 years ago. When the dealer was questioned he said they don't make the impellers like they used to.
The 2 year old kit was Sierra, not Mercury.
Is it true that the parts are crap today?
