I only need my locks for when my boat is left on the lift for weeks at a time but I do agree with Indy in the fact it's always better to take the props off if your on the trailer.
good to know about the nylon thread part.. i'm so still up in the air lol

I found this but I think the company is closed up..

I have been using the Mcguard locks on twin engine boats pretty much since they were introduced, haven lost any props underway yet ( have lost the lock keys tho ). I grease my prop shafts , including the threads, every season when installing the props . It was pretty easy to get new keys from them when I lost those . As stated above , locks keep honest people honest .
