    EZ-Loader Bunks Rotted

    I have a 2008 EZ Loader aluminum trailer that gets quite a bit of use in Florida lakes but hasn't seen salt water. One of the bunks has rotted out from the inside in just three years of use from new. Shouldn't the wood be treated to at least withstand 5 years of use or better? I need to...

    K&N Spark Arrestors

    Has anyone installed a K&N Spark Arrestor on their I/O??? I installed one on my 3.0 Glastron GT185 and can feel a difference from the stock Volvo arrestor. I did have to change out the carburetor stud since this is about an inch or so taller than stock. Hole shot and plane times improved and...
