The picture that Digger Dave posted shows a beveled lock. This steel tube is round, Im confused now.

Yeah thats a prop lock had the exact same one on my old boat. I heard a guy say he had to tack weld a nut to the top of the lock so he could use a ratchet to remove it but I would go easy with the heat. Hope that helps.

Have a look at the .bmp attachment & you will understand. The pic showing is actually the removal key.

Yeah what Mikey said that is the key, and the weld on the nut on top of the lock basically is kind of the same theory I guess.
