Engine Envy
Hi Andy, I have either 2 or 3 locks on my outboard.
One is permanent – a wire + padlock from the from the front handle of the outboard to the port side where the petrol tank lives. That is permanent on the basis that if something happens! the engine and boat go together.
The second is a much ‘stronger’ cable + padlock, off an old motorbike, which goes from the front handle to the tag on the stern.
The third, a chain covered in yellow hosepipe, that goes from the front handle to a rear cleat. I tend to put this on during the busy holiday periods or when there is a low tide. Much more of a visible deterrent.
Touch wood – seems to have worked so far.
Good luck
