Well, I used to prostaff for a company in Pennsylvania that made a great prop lock, but I must not have done a good enough job promoting them because they went out of buisness.  You have probably seen it on my prop.  It looks like the Club (for auto's) as it is a steel bar that wraps around the lower unit and hooks into the hub of your prop so the prop cannot be removed. 

 

Works great, and would be a money-making product for someone to bring back out on the market.

 

ciao,
Marc

Are you serious? Looks kind of funny, hows the exhaust escape or do you have to take it off everytime you want to run your motor?  How do you pull the Mcgard prop lock off? Its threaded on, I don't get how it can be pulled off, unless you have the proper key to get it off?  Just wondering. 

 

Russ do you have a selection of prop locks at Limit Out Performance Marine that guys can come by and purchase??

Ya I would like to know how easy it is to pull a McGard prop lock off ? Have you ever seen it done ?

Who wants to install and remove that yellow dealy ma bob every time the use there boat.  Line up 10 boats, 9 have the McGard and 1 doesn't.  The prop without the lock is going to get jacked.  Whether it's easy to remove or not, the lock is a deterant so that the snatch and grab theif won't mess with your boat.

Ron,

 

I am serious as there are a couple of ways to get it off pretty quick and if I give you that info over a public forum the possibilities of your props disappearing are greatly increased.

Then hopefully we are dealing with unintelligent criminals that can't figure it out quickly!  Thanks for the input Russ. Saw your new rapped demo boat out on the water today it looked great!

I'll just fab one up in the shop. Probably something I'll have to remove before launching but better than nothing at all.
