They do make a version with the aluminum bowl but after a year in salt air they can be !@#$%^ to get off. I think that Racor filters are the best but extra gaskets add more possible leak points, and then there's the hassles with removing the bowl. I just use the OEM style ones like I have for years.

I’m for sure adding a water separator. I’m just getting rid of the can style inline filter between the pump and carb.
