Should this be covered under warranty?

I forgot to post this pic in the fall. Towards the end of last season my starboard motor would run a bit hot during longer cruises at 3200 -3400 so I figured it was time for an impeller.
After removal and back flushing this is what was left.
All of the bolt heads and the wear plate had the original untouched paint so I believe it was original from 1998. I would think they should last a bit longer than 18 years?

OMG Tom! If that was in there for 20 years! I just serviced our genny and it appears that it's impeller may have been changed once in 20 years. It was molded every which way but still all in tack. It definitely wasn't working to capacity. Makes you wonder when buying a new to u but used boat as part of the sale one should have all the serviceable items done as part of the sale before closing on it as part of the sale unless paperwork can prove it was just done within the past year or so! Yea I know good luck with that!

I know what you mean. Things just don't seem to last as long any more. I just had to replace my start batteries last week, they were Only 14 years old!
