ABSTRACT:
Retaining means for preventing loosening of a gland nut, for example, at the end of a push-pull outboard motor steering cable. The gland nut is provided with a plurality of circumferentially spaced axially extending ribs. The retainer comprises a ring of spring-like material with a plurality of locking fingers engaging the conduit fitting and axially extending fingers fitting between the gland nut ribs. The latter fingers have rounded end depressions allowing positive rotation of the gland nut but preventing loosening of the nut through vibration.
