A conservative approach is to do it annually. I do. Many might not agree.
I make a April drill of changing the oil, all filters and checking the
impeller and the RAW water strainer.
YANMAR (In the manual) also recommends changing the water mixer elbow every
6 years. I will do it this year.
Cheers,

Is the primary filter that big Racor water/fuel separator? I bought a
Yanmar fuel filter that I presume is the secondary; it's a small inline
type with a red color filter element inside.
My engine had 57 hours on it when I bought the (model year 2002) boat
in November of 2005; it now has 110 hours after our one season of
ownership. I hadn't given thought to changing my fuel filters yet. Is
it better done as an annual exercise rather than being based on engine
hours?
