After 22 years I am going to change them just because, as I rebuilt the steering cylinder last year, and the power trim after the OI this year. I might even try rebuilding the helm also.

If you want to avoid scratches on a long trip, go all the way around your boats rub rail, and gunnel with a roll of shrink wrap. It keeps the cover from abrading the gel coat. ( I do that for 500 mile + trips).
