> Hi Peter;
> I use a heavy duty bike cable with loops on each end. One end is wrapped
around the motor below the head and threaded through one loop. The other
end is looped through the motor mount and locked with a paddle lock. How
many wraps depends on how long the cable is. You need to make it tight
enough so it cannot be slipped off. After some experimentation with
location and lengths, I found that I don't need to remove the cable when I
use the motor since it is not attached to anything that swivels. When
trailering I usually lay the motor on a rug in the cockpit and use the same
cable and lock setup.

I changed to the Fulton adjustable, I replaced one on the transom mounting
bolts with a heavy stainless eyebolt and lock the cable to that.
