Theft protecting a boat ...
Folks,
its now down to a few weeks til the boat will arrive and I have to start makeing arrangements to make sure it stays where it belongs and doesnt end up with some crook.... My insurance (and common sense) require the boat to be chained when stored at my place. Unfortunately there is no solid structure nearby that I could use to connect a chain to .... I was thinking about a hook in the (concrete) ground .. Kryptonite has one but its expensive and hard to get here... Are there any other ideas or options? The second scenario that requires some protection is when camping with the boat. It should be made sure that nobody can pull the boat away at night and I have to swim home ... What is the standard method to protect for that? Lets leave aside that sometimes you DONT want to know or be there if someone (armed) takes your boat.... I was thinking about an alarm in the boat ... it could be a simple setup with a vibration sensor hooked to a siren or a thin wire going from boat to shore and if the boat moves the wire rips and triggers the siren .. Is this preactical? Recommended? After all sometimes its better to stay asleep and let the boat go with an armed&dangerous criminal .. What are your opinions, experiences? Matt |
