Coupling lock, SAS lock, second wheel lock and heavy security chained to a concrete post. If they really want it they will take it but it will be a pain for the thieving sods.

One of my mates had one of those locks on when his boat was nicked never to be seen again.Not a sound was heard from at 5 metres from his window at night.
 
They wound tape over the alarm bit, stuck a large plastic jar over it and filled it up with instant foam and then cut the padlock.He found it the next morning on the ground along with his other chain and the towlock.He was not happy.

B'Hell! That's an effort alright. I guess it slowed them down a bit Confused. As been mentioned before you can't be 100% safe.

Nope why would that help it dosent with cars so why would it work with boats?

I have never bothered with security with out boat, our van stays in front of the boat full time, perhaps I should, so where the heck do they all go? a boat surley is hard to flick if stolen, also is it not about time the government registered boats and vinned them?]]> Tue, 09 Mar 2010 13:40:35 +0000 https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=564&PID=731398&title=boat-trailer-security#731398
