Lock for Aux Outboard

[Vandad]

Folks, for those who use Aux outboard on outboard bracket, does anyone know where I can purchase a lock suitable for Aux outboard?

As you know the small outboards are not bolted into the bracket and are just clamped to the aux bracket using toggle screws so it is quite difficult to use normal locks available in the market...

Here you go, simple search on eBay for "Outboard Lock" and you won't go far wrong, here's some examples

If your clamps don't already have 4/5mm holes at the end of the levers drill some and after you've clamped the engine back on, connect the ends of the two clamp levers with a small padlock. Cheap and effective and doesn't rattle about. Smother the lock with vaseline/grease and open occasionally. You should open frequently anyway to ensure the clamps haven't come loose and I'd always recommend a security leash to catch if from falling off!

Trouble is Ali thumbscrews break easy so a padlock with that method is pretty useless, other than a visual deterrent.

The one you guys mentioned don't work on this, have a look at the picture.

I have not yet found a lock suitable for toggle screws...

True if you swing off 'em individually but when they're locked together it makes it very difficult to break one. Determined thieves are hard to stop but anything that slows them down is better than nothing and an aux bracket takes only 4 bolts to remove anyway.

The one Rob at BDM linked to should fit that one as it goes down to 4hp ???? Just line the toggles up and slide it over
