Drag into my boat because you anchored inadequately I guarantee there
will be hell to pay. You'll be fully awake at least for a few minutes
before I knock you unconscious. When you wake back up you'll still be
dragging but you'll have to deal with while nursing a broken jaw. I
believe in an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.


Wow - Wild West at its best :-)

I believe Capt Neil delivered a few too many flyers in his postal days.
It's hard to believe a guy who decorates his boat interior with mauve could
be such a hard-ass.

This is assuming, of course, that the person who drags onto Mouseturd is a
girl scout. And when she wakes up she'll still kick Crap'n Kneel's butt.

That is what I use... no relay, low current... only problem... it is so
loud it scares the __ out of me and I usually hit my head on the ceiling.

You should be able to find a piezo buzzer alarm for a couple bucks at
Radio Shack. They require very low amperage (~10-20mA) so you wouldn't
even need a relay. You can find them with sound output over 100 db.
which will wake the dead.



Thanks for good advice - this seems to be the best way to go, and simple
too.

You just posted advice in another thread about mast wiring
connections... saying that it was best to keep things as simple as
possible.


You must be thinking of someone else. I posted nothing like that.
However, since you mentioned it, things should be as simple as
possible, but no simpler. I would especially appreciate the water
sensor. A good alarm system, costs dough and can need fixing, but it
is not vital, and everything you had before you got it will remain if
it fails.
