parked about 2 minutes from my house.Does anybody out there recommend using
an alarm?

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.

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.
