Hello everyone
Today I had the good pleasure of meeting a fellow local boat enthusiast.
He showed me a 115 merc he had in his collection of parts for sale.
Now I had never seen one of these prop locks before. He said he did not have a key for it, nor did the prior owner of the motor. Any chance someone here recognizes it, knows who manufactured them and could potentially help in finding a key or a way to remove the lock without messing things up?

regards
and as always, thanks in advance

I have a couple of them out on the shelve , bought them whe I first bought my stainless props and there werent as many around as there is now . take a screw driver and unscrew the slotted cap , under that cvap is a stainless screw that you need a key like a mag wheel lock to unscrew ten the outer tapered cap pulls off and there a nut , maybe 15/16 that unscrews and off comes your prop ....if you dont have the key you could weld something to the "lock screw" or maybe turn it with a chisel or reach in with a dremel and cut a slot for a screwdriver BUT ! remember its a left hand thread on the stainless lock screw !
