[QUOTE="gogittum, post: 491819, member: 27114"] Your concern about thieves is very well taken. For my 15 hp on the 12 ft and the 25 hp on the 16 ft, I scrounged around a metal recycle yard until I found a length of square steel tubing that would fit over the clamps. I used a cutoff wheel in an angle grinder to cut a slot in it that would slide over the clamps, then drilled holes in the end for a bicycle lock. They're a home made version of this: [URL]https://www.etrailer.com/Boat-Motor-Accessories/Trimax-Locks/TMX32ZR.html?feed=npn&utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=Google%20%7C%20Shop%20-%20Low%20Volume%20-%201000%20-%20All&adgroupid=108452021885&campaignid=11229265674&creative=468863949313&device=c&devicemodel=&feeditemid=&keyword=&loc_interest_ms=&loc_physical_ms=1015064&matchtype=&network=g&placement=&position=&gclid=Cj0KCQjwteOaBhDuARIsADBqRejXhM4zkgxxqAzhjHyqvK0FPnX-ecCSb1ILEkyViOQ16hXH043PTTUaAuEFEALw_wcB[/URL] It won't stop a determined thief - nothing will - but it'll sure slow him down and Will stop a casual opportunist.
