Fascinating thought about the fiber optic crew and theft ring.

For the future, check out the anti theft item that mounts over and
covers over the clamp handles. The one I have is called "fulton
outboard motor lock" which I know you can find at Iboats.com. I don't
know if it's absolutely teft-proof, but it would take more than a cable
cutter to remove it.

Unfortunately, they are susceptible to bolt cutters too.

I didn't know it. I figure it's easy to use and at least makes it a
little more difficult for the a$$holes. I know someone who's large,
bolted on, main engine was stolen - unbolted and taken - from their
residence. So, I guess we should also carrry insurance.

I have the locking bolt, takes a special key like the locks for mag wheels,
on my kicker. IT can be cut off, but not easily. Would require a hack saw
or Sawzall, as no place to get the bolt cutters on it easily.
