Right. They may be better or worse--I just don't know. OEM impeller failures don't seem all that uncommon.
My guess is running the
pump dry before it's primed contributes to the risk of
delamination at the hub. That is one reason I like to put some silicon grease inside the
pump housing before starting the
engine first time after changing the impeller or after the
boat is launched.
