Nope...but I'm keeping an eye peeled for 'em.
Someone at the border probably opened the envelope for a snoop.
They did this for a couple of hats I ordered last month.

I installed the clevis pin type hooks on my safety chains this morning. My
Dremel tool came in handy to buzz off the S-hooks.
Picked up a replacement light unit for the trailer right side. The old one
was corroded... the plastic back was split open about 3/8th inches and water
would flow in
amd out with each launching. Tomorrow I'll install the new unit so I can
get the trailer safety checked. They gave me until the 30th to get it done.
Sure was tempted to upgrade to LED rear lights but a set cost $70.00 + tax
up here.

Sounds like you're moving right along. Good luck with it!

Woo hoo! Noticed our mailman walking up to my door as I was reading this
newsgroup.
Sure enough, he delivered your envelope with the two keys and the Lowrance
manual.
First thing, I went out and tried the keys...they were a bit tight so I
flushed the locks with WD40 and will followup with lock graphite when they
dry out.
Question..re spare wheel lock... do I 'screw off' the two pieces of angled
metal?? I've applied WD40 to loosen any corrosion before attempting.

re Lowrance sonar
The manual doesn't show one single picture of a transducer...
I want to make sure it's pointing the proper way.
It seems like the 'eye' is at the end of the bullet shaped unit pointing
aft.
On the other hand it would make more sense if the transducer was positioned
in its more streamlined position...as it is now.
note: the bracket doesn't allow me to turn the unit enough do that the
somewhat pointy end is straight up and the flat bottom is down.

I've never owned a depth sounder so these questions may seem silly... but I
do want it set up correctly.

I may have found out my answer re transducer mounting...

Try to keep that 'ducer out of the path of the ass end of your trailer
bunks. You don't want bunks (or rollers) banging into the 'ducer.

Appears safe.
The winch tower stops the boat from going forward about 3" before the
transducer might touch anything.

The flat end points sternward and the transducer lies parallel to the
bottom of the boat.

It was set up correctly. :)

No problem - totally understand.

Wasn't happy with the replacement tailight unit I purchased from Canadian
Tire last night.
Even though it is clearly a 'right side' unit...it still had the clear lens
on the bottom. (meant for license plate illumination)
The mechanic who safety inspected my sailboat trailer in July commented on
the same thing.
I called a local boat store and he had what I needed for $27.00... and a 30
mile round trip out.
Decided to swallow my pride and went directly to the closest Wally-Mart....
a 20 minute walk away.
They had exactly what I wanted for $17.00 and it was assembled in Mexico
from US parts. Who would have thought?
Anyway..last nights part goes back for a refund and I have to figure the
best way to join and seal the connecting green/brown wires from the new
taillight unit to the trailers wiring harness. (salt/fresh water
environment)

Get some butt connectors that have the shrink wrap insulation and use
those. Alternatively, solder the wires together and use shrink wrap.

Butt Connectors?? If you can solder the wires together there is no
question in my opinion. Hey SW got some video of that 25 horse on
Crystal Lake. The steering works fine, the cables were made from
jumper cables. I left the factory connections from the alligator clips
and just cut them down round and drilled holes in the copper. The
thing starts really nicely (with a rope or starter when it catches),
water pump pumps very nicely. Gear oil great... Probably still only
goes about 15 of so but I ran it for about an hour and a half today to
run it out first time. I did have it running in a barrel for a couple
of hours yesterday before I hit the lake;)

Any beer consumption I may have doesn't involve my ability to buy what I
want. You will never hear me bitching about something that only costs
$70.00 (plus tax). I have no need to "cut back" on any expenses to buy
anything right now.
