ABSTRACT:
To prevent the theft, or accidental dislodgment during use of outboard motors, an elongated, hollow, slotted housing is provided which receives, covers, and renders inaccessible the head portions of the motor clamp screws. The housing is originally applied to the clamp heads by being slid thereover longitudinally and is provided in one wall with a pair of openings to receive the shackle legs of a padlock, the padlock body being introduced into the housing through an opening in another wall of the housing, and when the shackle legs are lockingly engaged with the confined padlock body, the latter functions as a stop to prevent unauthorized, longitudinal removal movement of the housing relative to the confined clamp heads. Major portions of the padlock body and shackle are also so shrouded that a thief or tamperer cannot successfully apply cutting or prying tools thereto.
