Panther Outboard Motor Lock for Turnbuckle-Mounted Engines, Carbon Steel Tubing
The Panther Outboard Motor Lock is a security device built to protect turnbuckle-mounted outboard engines from theft. Constructed of heavy-duty carbon steel tubing with a vinyl coating, the lock slides easily over the motor lock downs on the transom bracket and is secured in place with a hardened brass padlock. The padlock sits in a recessed position within the lock tube, making it difficult to access with bolt cutters or similar tools, while built-in noise dampeners reduce rattling caused by engine vibration or trailering. Two keys are included so the boat owner has a spare on hand.
This lock is designed specifically for outboards mounted with a turnbuckle-style transom clamp, and the vinyl-clad steel tubing helps resist corrosion from marine exposure while protecting the finish of the motor mount hardware. It is a straightforward add-on security measure for boat owners who store or trailer their outboard-powered boats in unsecured locations.
