A cable with a padlock will serve as a nice leash and also help deter theft.Install a leash?
As an update. I took the boat out for the first time. And i was able to get the outboard down fine. But neither me or my buddy were able to pull it back up... one of us had to push it up from in the water near shore to get it out of the lock position. We tried pulling it up from the boat to get the pin unlocked but pulling up from yhe boat didnt give us much leverage or the correct angle to let us undo the pin. When the motor isnt on the bracket the arms are parallel to eachother. In the pictures i attached. You can see that the bracket arms arent parallel. The top is being pulled from the motor preventing the locking pin from being pulled out unless someone pushes up on the motor.. so is something wrong or am i just doing something stupid? I didnt tilt the motor before trying to pull it up. Would that help? And should i be doing that? Any ideas on any way to finagal or mess with the bracket to fix the arm angle?
