[Rhodes22-list] Outboard Antitheft Measures

[Michael Meltzer]

I will second the masterlock on the Yamaha(the Fulton's work better on the Hondas), I have to admit, I can cut one off in about 2
minutes with a sawsall(like at session end when I could not find the key :-),

BTW I would also add a safty cabel also, from the rail to the motor set so the motor can not go flying out the bottom and rail to
rudder so if it lifts off you still have it., both have save my ass over the years.
