- \nBoat Alarms \u2013 Install a self-contained boat alarm, available at most marine stores, and be sure to put a sticker in the cabin window or on the windshield to warn would-be thieves that it is aboard.\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

- \nDo-It-Yourself – Are you a true do-it-yourselfer? Try removing a critical, but easily replaced, part of the ignition system in between boat outings. A hidden kill switch or a fuel shutoff can also work well.\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
- \n
- \nChoose the Right Berth \u2013 Boats stored in water can be particularly vulnerable. Make sure your marina is gated and has security, whether cameras or guards. Dry storage can provide a safer option than in-water storage. It’s always a good idea to remove valuables when possible, or at least hide them from plain view.\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
- \n
- \nMark it Up \u2013 Most police departments and insurance companies advise that marking key boat parts, including trailers, will lower their value to thieves. Engraving or some kind of permanent marking is important.\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
- \n
- \nTrailered Boats \u2013 At the boat ramp, always lock your trailer (and your trailer hitch) to your tow vehicle. A heavy chain attaching the trailer to a sturdy object also goes a long way to deterring thieves. When storing your trailer, face the tongue in to a building or fence to make moving it that much more difficult. Another option is to use a wheel lock of some kind.\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
