Outboard motor lock

[Stewy]

I've got this volcano lock i had fitted when i bought a new engine for my searider about 5 years ago, anyway. Lost the keys and had to cut it off.

I really should have a lock on my new outboard for insurance purposes.

Any ideas how I can get it open and maybe find a code to order new keys? They are around a £100 now. So worth saving if I can.

I've checked the old paperwork. But no key code.

Or do I need to send it to the lock picking lawyer 😆

Just keep it handy to show the insurance company if your engine gets stolen, you've already proved it ain't going to stop anyone stealing your engine ��

That's a good point I hadn't thought of! Maybe I should delete this .

If they want it they will take it a wee lock won't stop them.

Nowadays its quicker to cut the bolts with a grinder than it is to unscrew the nuts its getting harder & harder to secure stuff as tool technology improves

Or just chop the whole transom which seems to be more common nowadays too!

Drop a line to info@outboardmotorlocks.co.uk who produce Volcano. If you have purchase paperwork, you never know. Sometimes companies go the extra mile. Apparently the key codes range from 320001 to 326000 and uses L&F 32 Series Radial Key.
