Has any one used the drive and props locks before.I think McGuard makes them.I saw them at the store today and was thinking about buying a few but I'm not sure how secure they are.Can I use two drive locks per drive or do they not have any clamping power compared to the regular nuts used?


Thanks Nordic95

Same thread pitch, similar material and thread engagement, so at a given torque the clamping force should be close enough.

I use a drive lock and a prop lock. If nothing else, it'll slow them down long enough for me to load my shotgun.

The drive locks are good.
There are mixed reviews on the prop lock. There is no way to use the locking washer and people have lost props. If you can pull the props while the boat is stored it is a better route to go.

I use the drive locks, because a couple of years ago somone swiped 2 trs drives off of a fountain in the 1000 islands. I just bought 2 prop locks from Fred. http://www.trickmarine.net/productde...?productid=359

They actually have keys and you can use the locking washer so you don't have to worry about the props getting loose. You can't beat the security and they look good. Just a thought, pain in the ass taking off the wheels everytime.

I have the drive locks on my Bravos. Other than forgetting the key once when I dropped it off for service, I don't even know they are there.
