Thanks for all the info. Unfortunately, I am too far away from the lake in the winter to be able to check it myself, and need to trust that they are being honest about it. But man, it is expensive!

It is an expensive fix. The problem is that the pump is in a place where you cannot easily get at it. If you got 250 hours out of this one then you did very well.
I do know that there is an upgraded water pump which I was told is supposed to outlast the original. But they do require replacement on a somewhat regular basis.
FYI the inter-coolers do not last a lifetime either. That was a $1000 replacement.
