Radar Lifespan?

I have a 1999 Furuno radar. I believe it's a 1731 MK2 or MK3. It could be a 1721 as it has an 18" dome. I can't find the manual for it. I think it's a 24nm range set. I bought it new and have never had any problems with it. It's lived it's whole life outside on a boat in a wooden electronics box with a plexiglass front cover. It has never been out of the electronics box year round since new. I would have to guess it only has around 200 or 300 hours on it. I use it very little. Maybe once or twice a year. How long can I expect to get out of the radar? Another 20 years?
