I'd recommend putting a oem arrestor on it with 1 of the 3 screens. Itll keep water out of the engine when you roll over. Being new at riding, you'll definitely get water in the engine bay and with a k&n or any other open filter like thst will let all the water in which could leave you stranded in the water with a ski that won't start. Square noses are bad about water ingestion from the hood vents.
