Do they make them that you can leave on and run? or do they have to be removed? my boat sits in a highly visible area, so I need something.

10-21-2008 12:31 PMI use both of the McGard products (prop and stern locks). They work great and the only time I take them off is to drain the drive oil (since I have to). Never had a problem with them, but remember to use the proper / recommended washer configuration.

Also ck the nut tightness after a few runs, mine has loosened before
Remember there easy to cut thru ,carbide bit slices thru the stainless collar, then cut into the brass nut, hammer a socket on nut and unsrew, took me less that 30min, that was going slow to not mess up the shaft:bigear:its only a deterrent,but the best we got out there.
When ya order them order some extra black caps, the fall off pretty easy

I have the Mcguards as well. Like strip said they are better than nothing, but not by much. I took one off on a buddies boat (lost key) in under 10 minutes. Drive 2 scew dirvers inbetween the collar and the nut and turn it with a crescent wrench.
