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.

Yes.

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.

Listen, Dumbass Don. Your posts here are public and *maybe* there are
(a lot) of people that could care less about your boat keys.

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.
