      A few years ago I bought a lower unit on ebay and the seller left the oil in it. In transit the oil leaked out, soaked the box, the drive shaft poked through, and when it all became visible a Postal employee removed it from their system, understandably. But then it got lost in their Bermuda Triangle of hazardous/busted packages that get held back from further transportation. I did have a tracking number so I had to see where the last place it was scanned, file a missing package report (if that’s what it was called) and find the phone number of the station it was last scanned in to and talk to someone there. After some detective work, many phone calls, and patience it finally got found, inspected, re-wrapped, and put back in to their system and I finally received it about 2 months after I ordered it.

        A "Boathouse Repair" is one that done without having tools or the skills to do it properly.

          Let me guess……. Illinois street in Idaho?

          Damn, Steve. That seller knew absolutely nothing about shipping lower units. What a mess O-:

            I know, really…a little common sense would have gone a long way. I was real happy to finally get it. I hope if Jeff can make a few calls or do some tracking they can locate his stuff for him. Those parts are little harder to come by than common Evinrude/Johnson parts.

              Yea, I agree. I remember not too long ago, Jeff and I talked about flakey shipping deals. 🙁

                UPS vaporized an entire restored Johnson TD back in about 2010. it was scanned onto a truck and then disappeared.

                i always wondered if anyone got their heads clunked behind the scenes over that. they ended up paying out on the insurance- around 200 bucks.
