I'd suppose part of the problem with boat issues could lie with the sometimes infrequent use they get? (especially in cold weather climates) Kind of like older cars that need to be run atleast once every week or two to keep seals and lines intact etc..
I suppose many boat owners use their boats pretty sparingly? Just a mechanical hunch.
