My dad and i went to go wash the boat today, and when we got there, the 9.9 yamaha kicker was gone.
The boat is stored at my dads friends house in the city of bonney lake. The thiefs had to have came several nights to get it off. there was a lock on it, and they used a drill to get the clamps off. plus it was right up on the fence so they had to get between the big moter, the fence and the kicker. so they put alot of effort into this.
Funny thing was we also came to take home the engine to tune it up.

Sorry bro. People these days, gotta bolt everything down or take it off your boat when not in use. Just the way the our world is these days.
Check CL. Some of these guys are just plain stupid and will sell them on CL. Check the Craigslist for other parts of the state, often times they steal stuff in the Seattle area then ship it to some guy to sell it in Olympia, Portland, etc., just places a little further away...

i concur mate. there is some stupid people who would shove on CL things they have just nicked.
those kickers motors hold their value and are really easy to steal. mine isnt bolted down, but it is insured.
