Hey All,
Does anybody know where I can purchase a prop lock for a 2004 Yamaha F150? I went to the Yami site, it shows you the accessories and cost, but not where to buy them.

Go to www.usboatsupply.com/Yamaha_Propellers.php
They have what you need. There only $45...why paint? A SS prop is way cooler than a dull black one. :)

Bob,
Last year I was concerned about possible theft of my prop while the boat sits on the trailer at the marina. Rather than a prop lock, I opted to paint my shiny SS yamaha prop black to make it look like an aluminum prop. I first primed the prop with white primer. After a season of much use, the paint is wearing off around the edges, making the prop look old and worthless. But underneath its still a great SS prop. The paint did not create drag- I still get the same top end on the motor but I do think the paint will prevent a thief from stealing her. There are plenty of shiny SS props at my Marina if a thief is really out to get one. What concerns my more is someone taking the entire lower unit :mad: which would be a lot easier and quicker.

Note to self...
Joe's crappy looking painted prop is really a nice stainless steel prop. :brow

Gordon- make sure you set aside a couple of evenings in June so we can go after the cows.

stingray, that's cool! FireFly and I are at FLM too.
Look for a Key West 1900 with a Yamaha F115 and a yellow McKee Craft 196 with a 150 HPDI.
