I found these the other day on Ebay. I have seen this type of Gimbel lock in the catalogs before but never though much of them. Price i guess was what turned me off about them.
I contacted the seller with a best offer and got two of them shipped for $30. I think they will allow for a little more piece of mind with the price of electronics these days. I got them in today and tried them out, and they seem to work great. Turn the key and the know will turn and allow the unit to be tightened up and secured in place. Turn the key again and the know disengages from the threaded shaft and will not tighten or more importantly loosen.
Just like insurance, you never need it until you need it.
I think they are a very good accessory for your electronics. If you have a ram mount they also have locks that fit them.
I store my boats inside or I would always remove my electronics. I like the idea of these for the stops to fuel up (truck and myself), the time spent at the boat ramp, store, etc.
The last two pics are of them on my 997. Kinda look like Dumbo ears.
oooh::big_smile:
Thanks
