I change my filters every spring prior to launch. I'm getting older and not sailing as much as I once did so I burn about 35 gallons of gas a year now. Always premium and always stabil added to gas can prior to pouring it into the boat as well.
I checked the old pump yesterday evening thinking I might use it for pumping out a tank or something if needed. It clicks yet just a few drops come out so it was the pump. I'm not sure many people know this but electric fuel pumps generally work well right up until they quit. Sometimes it's corrosion of wires that causes it and sometimes the pump mechanism just fails.
