I have 8.1 Crusaders and they started to run rough, stall etc at about 200 hours. Changed all the original Denso plugs to Champions and now they run like new. If there is a problem you can get a code reader for about $75 that will plug in and pin point the failure.
Fuel filters, oil and filter changes, new zincs, raw water impellers, that's about it. At 11 years you should be looking at new elbows before you have a major problem.
Both my 2001 engines run perfectly smooth and trouble free.
