Securing your motors

[Baas Meyer]

Hi,

How do you guys secure your motors to prevent them from being stolen ?.

I have 2 x 40hp motors and was wondering if anyone have a DIY tip for preventing theft....?.

Thanks

Weld the bolts vas..
That's what we had to do, and park the boat next to a neighbor who is an ex-recce and does not sleep too much at night..and likes to play with his S&W. ;)

Fit an extra nut or two onto each bolt and weld. To remove use a grinder to cut off the welded nut. The extra nuts make it easier to cut off the welded nut without damaging your motor

Thank you, will try that....not the rekkie, the extra nuts.

you should also put a stainless plate across the transom, overseas my boets mate had his motor stolen they just used a chain saw and cut the transom away

Apologies for dredging up old posts here, just wondering about the risks associated with welding so close to the motor?
