I’ve owned the boat for 3 years and put about 250 trouble free hours on the engines. But now I’ve lost faith in them.

I don’t know what was done the previous 325 hours. And there is the salt water .
I am not an outboard expert, but if it were my boat, I would only fix the bad engine. Rebuilding the other engine would be wasting usable life that still remains on it.

Multi engine airplanes often have engines that are only rebuilt as needed.
