Water Pump Replace-200 Yamaha

I recently helped my neighbor/friend replace the water pump on his ref. motor. He drove the 90 mile round trip to get the new pump kit. Upon dis-assembly he found the plastic sleeve and retaining collar damaged.
The kit DID NOT include those nor the 3 wave washers on top of the retaining collar.
I was in Anchorage (400 mile rt), he called me and I picked up the parts he needed. $22. Why were they not included in the kit.??
It went back together easily with two of us.
One other caveat...there are 7 bolts holding the lower unit on. 6 are obvious but the 7th is hidden by the removeable fin and is longer than the other 6. Never seize on all threads is a good preventive idea.
Now I feel much more at ease when I have to do my 200hp Honda as I am sure they are similar.
We both have 26' CD ProAnglers.

The lower unit on Honda 45's also have 7 bolts with that last one "hidden" the same place. Went nuts trying to get it off after having removed 6 before I found it. The service manual was my next purchase.
