ABSTRACT:
A locking assembly for preventing access to a nut threadedly secured onto a bolt, the nut and bolt generally mounting an article, such as an outboard motor, to a structure, such as a boat transom. The locking assembly is independent of the bolt and nut, and includes a cylindrical housing that receives the bolt through one end thereof and allows for the threading of the nut onto the bolt. A cap that is received on the end of the housing opposite the bolt, by a boss and counterbore arrangement, is rotatably retained by a roll pin. The cap includes a tapered bore that receives a threaded stud and locking lug assembly. The threaded stud is received by a locking lever that is nonrotatably retained within the housing. As the locking lug is tightened, the cap is secured to the housing to prevent access to the nut.
