WHEW!!! i remember last year having little stuff pinched from the boat,
like my single swivel block plus becket that 'disappeared' off the boom
end. I'm mighty glad that my p-15 is mooraged now inside the garage!!!
even on the trailer it fits.....nice!
I still use a kryptonite u-lock for the motor--thru the handle and the
motor mount. I'm sure it could still be stolen but it'd make the job
harder. and it also keeps the motor from sinking to the bottom if the
mounting screws weren't tight enough...
