[QUOTE="scoobeb, post: 389869, member: 6843"] I have a curious question here. How many people actually bolt down their tiller outboard compared to tightening down the clamps as tight as possible? I have never bolted any motor 25hp and under down and never ever had one come off the transom or even get lose for that matter. I was contemplating on bolting my new 2015 25hp efi suzuki for securing it to the transom purpose only(not theft). The way my boat is just makes it so difficult to do and decided not to. I just put a bar lock across the clamp handles and I'm also going to run two plastic coated cables from the motor to the brace just below the outboard on the inside for extra security just in case it would happen to come up by a freak accident.
