McGard 74040 Marine Propeller Lock, M18 x 1.5 Thread, Fits Honda, Yamaha, Suzuki, Johnson/Evinrude
The McGard 74040 Marine Propeller Lock protects your outboard motor or stern drive propeller against theft with the same patented locking design used on McGard's stern drive and outboard motor locks. The lock uses a free-spinning outer collar that turns freely if a thief attacks it with pliers, vice grips, or other gripping tools, so the lock cannot be loosened or removed without the matching key. This provides continuous 24 hour protection whether the boat is in use, in storage, or in transit.
The 74040 is built from stainless steel for durable, corrosion-resistant performance in a marine environment and features an M18 x 1.5 thread size with an overall lock length of 1.025 inches and a 1-1/16 inch hex size. Each lock set includes one propeller lock, one key, one washer, and one plastic cap, so everything needed for installation is in the box.
This propeller lock fits all Yamaha stern drives, and is designed for outboard motors including Honda 75 hp and larger, Yamaha 115 hp and larger, Suzuki 40 hp and larger, and Johnson/Evinrude 150 hp and larger. Always confirm your propeller's thread size and hex dimensions against the M18 x 1.5 specification before ordering.
