    I received a pair last week and they work GREAT. Much easier to use than the plastic versions and the previous rubber ones.

    I can verify they also work for the 250R with the beefier 7/8th's sea star steering shaft

    I got a set delivered in mail yesterday........I really like them better than the hard PVC.
    Worth the $'s. I think it was 16.95 but not 100% on that.

    Will the 4” version work on the new 300HP V8 Verado?

    Love my Gator-Locks.

    Now they just need to make a vertical stabilizer, ala My-Wedge or something similar.

    And a good local MN company, always nice :)

    They work great but keep in mind if you forget to remove they will remove themselves without too much resistance. I could see turning them right off never to be seen again

    Guys, correct me if I’m wrong, but I do not see an exposed rod on my 300HP Verado that would allow me to use a steering lock device like this. Am I missing it? If I am correct, what if anything are you using to prevent the motor from turning when trailering? Is this necessary on a Verado with power steering?

    I love mine. I had to cut a small slice off both to get them to fit my motors width. I used my 12" compound miter saw and the cut came out very clean. I had the plastic ones prior and they were hard to get off and would break in cold weather. These gave an exposed grip tab that work great.
    Thanks for your product.
