gage or bill of sale properly executed and recorded before the claim to be
secured by such lien shall have accrued.

Where there is no entire contract for repairing a vessel, but repairs are done from
day to day as ordered, only such repairs have priority over a mortgage duly executed
and recorded, as were done prior to record of such mortgage. Sec. 15 has no application.

or by any other person with his authority, express or implied, in the
custody of any corporation, firm or individual, association, or person for
repair, rebuilding, storage, or for the purpose of having furnished for or
on account of the same any parts, accessories, or tires, the corporation, firm,
individual, association or person in whose custody said motor vehicle or
part thereof is left for all or any of the purposes aforesaid, shall have a
lien on said motor vehicle or part thereof for all charges so incurred, and
may lawfully retain the same until said charges have been paid, or until
said lien is extinguished or discharged as hereinafter provided. Said lien
shall be superior to the rights of the holders of conditional sale contracts,
bills of sale, chattel mortgages or other liens or claims of any kind which
are not theretofore executed and recorded or filed for record as required by
law, but shall be subordinate thereto where the same have been theretofore
executed and recorded as required by law. Surrender or delivery of any
motor vehicle subject to the lien aforesaid shall operate as a waiver or
extinguishment of the same as against third persons without notice thereof,
