    Its too bad

    That Teleflex doesn't make a 4 way Pro-Trim (similar to your car turn signals and high-low beams) so we could trim up and down and also raise and lower the trim tabs from the steering wheel. Do we have any inventors out there?

    Sandy.........that's a very good idea, you should come up with a design. Who knows, it may be one of your "Claims to Fame"

    Jeff you might have something there, not sure how you would mount it (wires) and be able to reach it from the steering wheel. It would be great to have something where you wouldn't have to take your hands off the wheel.

    I just sent an e-mail to teleflex and told them we wanted them to get-er done.

    Received an e-mail from Teleflex today:

    "Sandy this is the first time I have been asked about this. I can tell you that it is not even on the drawing board at this time, but I will bring it up with my engineering department later today."

    I was hoping I wouldn't have to find out, I'm usually in Florida by now. I think snowplows are a Cowtrimmer thing.

    Hey Lou how's the fishing? Did you guys go to the Okeechobe FLW? This really $ucks being stuck up here in the frozen North, missing all the good fishing. Now don't get the wrong idea here, but I miss you guys
