There are multiple inexpensive metal lock devices that slip over the clamps and both keep them from loosening and keep thieves from taking the motor. Best of luck.
You make your luck mate so stars align for the good guys. Your option now ,is to pay it forwards and learn from your experience! Hope this will help others too.
Bugga! & lucky. Id say sorry for speaking to soon (last post), but I'm guessing this happen long before that. I'm checking out a 48v 2150w 150lb outboard from Alib $500, should be easier fix if it decides to go for a swim. Run a length of chain or cable with padlock, to help deter theft, which will also help stop the motor hitting the drink (unless you flip it, next weeks vid 😜)
Hahaha, sorry but that was funny. Good on you for taking the time to record it all for us, I’d have done much more swearing. The wind gene went in the drink? How did I miss that? Sign up to marine rescue now, don’t tempt fate again hahaha. Well done.
hahaha yep! my girlfriend was like "hey, what are you doing?" and i was like "rowing home". Girlfriend - "why?". me - "because my outboard fell off. Girlfriend - non stop laughter
Bwahaha! Min 1:40 Mr Boot got a worried face! (Glad it panned out bro)

Well said! I actually helped a guy pull his outboard out of the drink the other day. Exact same thing happened to him. Must be a thing 🤷♂️

You were very lucky! Could have been a very expensive mistake.
True! So unbelievably lucky!
