ABSTRACT:
A locking device for locking an outboard motor onto a boat. The locking device includes a housing of greater length than a line formed between the clamping screws holding the motor onto the transom of the boat. A slot is formed in one side of the housing, and is closed on both ends, permitting only transverse sliding application of the housing onto the clamping screws, with the screw handles being received by and confined within the slot. The locking device also includes a padlock, at least one leg of the shackle of that padlock being insertable through a corresponding leg opening formed for that purpose in the housing. The leg opening is positioned so that the handles are thereby trapped in the slot. The padlock thereby locks the shackle into the body so as to impede unauthorized removal of the housing from the clamping screws, thus forming a stop to prevent sliding removal of the housing from the screws.
