ABSTRACT:
A locking device for an outboard motor which both seals the turnbolts securing the motor to a boat transom to prevent removal of the motor and which inhibits trimming of the motor from an inoperative position to prevent the motor from being used to facilitate theft of the boat. For a preferred embodiment, a hollow tube of a hard, noncorrodible material such as hardened stainless steel is fitted over the turnbolt heads, a cylindrical lock is fitted in the open end of the tube to prevent removal thereof and a cable, preferable an armored cable is fixed to the tube near the closed end thereof and is adapted to fit around the motor to prevent trimming of the motor with the free end thereof passing through aligned openings in the tube and lock near the open end of the tube so that, when the lock is operated, it engages the cable to prevent removal of the lock from the tube and to secure the cable.
