Outboard Engine Theft Recovery Services

Outboard engines are valuable, difficult to trace, and frequently stolen across Europe. These expensive engines are often resold or shipped abroad for resale or parts, making them prime theft targets for organised criminal gangs.

Automatrics MTrack has been successfully tested by Hampshire Marine Police and recognised by the British Marine Federation for insurance purposes. With an impressive theft recovery success record, including working with Swedish Police to recover over 36 stolen outboard engines from Lithuania, Automatrics MTrack offers unmatched protection for your outboard motor. Our ultra-compact, water-resistant trackers provide powerful RF location signals, ensuring fast recovery of stolen engines. Whether taken from boatyards, trailers, or workshops, our team works directly with law enforcement to guide them to the hidden engine, ensuring you get your property back quickly and safely.

How it works

Buy and subscribe to the most advanced tracking solution for outboard engines. Automatrics MTrack provides compact, waterproof theft protection for outboards, delivering professional recovery capability across land and water.
Outboards are often removed quickly and stored in sheds, garages, or containers. GPS-only trackers typically fail in such environments. Our RF signal technology operates even when GPS is lost or jammed. Our search teams use RF detection to locate your protected engine — with precise indoor and outdoor results — no matter how well hidden.

Motorcycle Customer Reviews

Absolutely excellent company

by | Jul 22, 2025 | Motorcycle Reviews, MTrack Reviews | 0 Comments

I have 2 high end motorcycles protected with Automatrics products. They alert me if anyone touches the bikes. The product is fantastic and has RF tracking as well. Look up Automatrics on YouTube in which actual theft recovery operations are filmed. Then there’s the customer service. It’s second to none. It’s more like a family who run it than a normal everyday company. 24 hrs a day I can send a message and get support almost immediately. If there’s a problem they will fix it. I had a problem today which was resolved straight away. An outstanding product with an outstanding company.

My BMW S1000rr got stolen I called Automatrics to let them know that my bike was stolen. They were amazing. They found my bike quickly and it was such a difficult location to locate. My bike had cut battery cables and disconnected fuses and plugs. Danny put everything together the bike started with. I am so grateful. Highly Recommended.

Stolen bike (again)

by | Jan 10, 2025 | Motorcycle Reviews, MTrack Reviews | 0 Comments

My bike just went at 4am in morning- heard it rev up and go. Went out to find my lock in 2 pieces on the road. This is the first time it’s gone since fitting the tracker. I looked at my Automatrics app and realised that I was an idiot and had forgotten to arm it the night before. Called the police and called Automatrics. The call to Automatrics was immediately picked up by Richard who travelled up to search for it. By 6.50 it had been located (the tracker having come out of sleep mode) and the police were calling to say they had found it. What they didn’t bother to mention was that they only attended and re-acquired it because Automatrics had liaised with them behind the scenes and told them exactly where it was! I turned up and the police left. Richard returned to meet me and arranged a recovery vehicle. Dropped the bike off at a garage local to me by around 8.30. The whole experience of losing the bike, finding it, and getting it back to a repair shop took around 4 1/2 hours. Utterly brilliant service.

Life saver

I can't express enough how thankful I am for Automatics, without them I would have no transport. I live 8 miles away from my closest family member and without Automatics I would have nothing. If you want your property protecting get Automatics, it's really worth the extra money 100%, thank you so much.
