    Keeping boat secure at boat dock?

    I will be keeping my boat at a private boat dock with boat lift. Do you guys use a cable or anything to keep your boat secure in case anyone gets any funny ideas? Thanks!

    It was my first year lift kept. Was nervous, but all ok. Not added precautions other than a dock full of boaters looking out for each other...

      I agree!

      I kept mine at a dock last season ...the only problem I had was leaving the cover off one night and had some kids get in there grab my fire extinguisher and had some fun....

      other than that.. I have left boards in the boat and on the rack without a problem..

        I leave my boat on a lift in the summer, we still tie it off in case the lift fails.

          On lift, keys in ignition all summer. Probably stupid, but everyone does it around here.

            I just unplug the electric cord on the winch to keep anyone from lowering it and letting it drift off. Other than that never had any issues.

              If you were nervous about it you could always wire in a hidden toggle switch that comes off the starter. This is what we did in both my dad's old Mustangs.

                What's your address!! J/K. I am not worried about theft but feel it is prudent to at least secure the boat to the dock. I at least want to make it a hassle just in case someone had any funny ideas. I am actually surprised at how many don't secure their boats. I was thinking to use a thick cable with lock to loop through the bow eye to the dock but thought I would see what others do.
