Don't take this the wrong way, but that's the stupidest idea imaginable. You
may as well place the electronics on the gunwale in zip lock bags with the
instruction manuals, with a big sign saying "take me".

Yes, very preferable. The damage to your boat would be much less if you gift
wrapped the electronics for the thieves...rather than make them work for it.

Maybe not. Consider what we know about 53% of the country since early
November.

I don't think an alarm will do you much good, other than a signal that you
just got ripped off.

One suggestion though .... for those with a chart plotter... take out your
chip. These things are easy to steal and there's a big market for them. I
know. I've had to buy new ones twice.

Yes, I suppose you are correct. I've had my boat where it's at for 8 years
and have never had a break in, but I suppose I should not push my luck.. I
did look at West Marine's catalog after posting and noticed a proximity
alarm for around $50, but I doubt I would hear it 200+ yds away.

I recommend you remove your electronics from your trailered boat parked
two minutes from your house.
