[QUOTE="JMichael, post: 413615, member: 7544"] They are designed to be tightened by hand only, thus the little handles on them instead of a nut/hex head that would require or allow a wrench to be used. I've never owed a motor larger than my current 25hp but I've never had any issues of a motor coming lose on me. All I do is get it night and tight with one hand only. And I never turn it as far as I absolutely am capable, but I do get them good and tight. I've also never bolted one of my motors on, but since I'm planning on keeping this rig a while, I'm giving consideration to bolting this one on just as added theft prevention. [/QUOTE]
