Last year I posted that some Yamaha motors were stolen from where I have my pontoon stored. Well this year the thieves tried to steal mine. Is there a way to secure the motor in any way to keep thieves from getting the motors off the boat? Thanks Jeff
I just ordered one of these. I wanted to order a prop lock, too, but they start at the Yamaha 115 and larger. Does that mean that no one will want my 4 blade SS prop from my F90?
I have the Mcgard prop lock and it is still on the boat so it must be working. I bought it as our boat is on a lift and we get a lot of late night bow fisherman who come right by the docks late at night. I don't keep anything of value on the boat either. If this is an ongoing issue where you store the boat I would look at other storage options. Almost sounds like an inside job to me.
I was tempted to have the Yamaha Y-Cop installed. Dealer talked me out of it, they don't remember the last time a large outboard was stolen. I was going to justify a reduction in insurance premium, but it wasn't significant to make up the additional cost. And the fact I can't get out of my mind the old car alarm I had that kept it from starting, but it looks very cool and effective IF you have their command link.
Not much damage. Just nicely unhooked everything and removed 4 nuts . Then something must have spoofed them off. I did order the Mcgard Outboard Motor Lock. Thansk for all the help.
