Default Immobilizing an outboard?

Hi.
We have a 1990 pull-start 9.9 Evenrude outboard and it's mounted to a 14'
runabout. Lately, our harbour has been experiencing thefts of motors as
well as the boats themselves. With ours, the motor is locked to the transom
but I would also like to find a nifty way of disabling the motor from
running so the boat itself can't be motored away ..like when stopping at a
waterside cafe or pub or picnic, etc.

Is there anyway of installing a hidden switch or some such device that will
immobilize the motor. This should probably be something that doesn't entail
popping off the engine cover each time we stop.

Appreciate your ideas.
Jack
