In one embodiment, the outboard motor lock comprises an outboard motor lock bracket and an outboard motor lock securing mechanism. The bracket comprises a back plate, side plates and a lip, and may be attached to a boat hull or other surface through bracket attachment holes. The securing mechanism comprises a base and one or more securing rods. The securing mechanism can be inserted into the bracket by inserting the one or more securing rods through corresponding bracket securing holes. One or more aligned bracket locking holes and securing mechanism locking holes allow for a locking device to be passed through and lock the securing mechanism to the bracket. When the securing mechanism is inserted into the bracket after an outboard motor attaching mechanism has engaged the bracket, the securing mechanism prevents the attaching mechanism from being removed from the bracket.
An outboard motor lock comprising a bracket and a securing mechanism, wherein the bracket comprises a back plate and one or more side plates, and wherein the securing mechanism comprises a base and one or more securing rods.
