Locking device for outboard motor

摘要

Several embodiments of improved security systems for marine propulsion systems that do not have a continuously available source of electrical energy. These systems include an electric key reader that is powered by a manually operated electrical power supply during starting so as to ensure against theft. In one embodiment, if there is a failure in the electrical power supply for the security system, the speed of the propulsion system is limited so that a rightful owner can reach an area where service can be obtained.
