I just bought a new Lund 1625 XL with a 2012 Mercury 60 HP, 4 stroke engine. After trailering the new rig home after my second time out, I found a loose bolt lying in the tray (not the correct name) just in front of the transom. The bolt is in fact a hex head capscrew, stainless steel, black painted head (Mercury Black), and the dimension of the thread is .230 inch dia. (5.75 MM) X .750 inch long (19 MM). The capscrew is not broken and the threads are in perfect condition.
Anybody out there have any ideas where this screw may have come from? Some Chinese assembler just having a little fun and putting an extra screw in to puzzle the American?
This capscrew was not in this tray when I took delivery. The boat is Red, not black and most fasteners are not stainless steel.
