[Rhodes22-list] Securing Outboard Motor to Boat

[Jay Friedland]

Wally-
I had the 8hp, but all have built-in bolt locations to attach them to a 
bracket. With the GBI, I through-bolted to the inside and was able to 
put a socket wrench in there and put the McGard socket to the outside. 
As the coupling outside just spins, no vice grip or other wrench grabs. 
It's under $20, unobtrusive and so far has worked for me, like the 
"Club" on a steering wheel.
