[Rhodes22-list] Securing Outboard Motor to Boat

[Jay Friedland]

Dan-
You can accomplish both securing the motor and theft prevention on the 
Yam with a thru bolt and keyed locking nut from McGard.com. I just 
upgraded to the Yam from the Merc and used their system on both. The 
socket is machined to the locknut and no wrench I know of can undo it 
only cutting it off flush. I also had the Master OB lock bar on like 
the club just to deter would-bes. There is a coupling on the Yam that I 
attached to the nearby eyebolt with a bike aircraft cable in case the 
motor lift bracket gives. Most of this is overkill for where I am but 
this is my most significant purchase so better safe. You're always 
welcome to come by if you're local.
