We go in salt water 2-3 times a week with our 15hp Johnson (1989)

Is it necessary to flush it each time we go out. The motor rarely sits to
dry out more than 4 days.

I wash when I can every time. If you have a flushing port that does not require you to run the engine get an adaptor, leave the hose setup so its there then you get home ready for a 10 minute flush.
I always have new engines, and they look so much better even after 5 years, than ones not flushed and washed down each time.

Roller bunks? - Can anyone have a look at these and give me their opinions? http://www.cesmithco.com/product/roller2.htm They look like a good idea - rollers to replace existing carpeted bunks. I'm not sure how they'd fit though or if there are any draw backs. ..
