THEFT PREVENTION

The best ways to prevent theft of your boat or equipment is to take proactive steps to deter a would-be thief from choosing your boat instead of someone else’s!

Here are some ways to lessen the chance of your boat or valuable items from being stolen:

• Remove all valuables from the boat after each outing.
• Lock what you can (doors, cabinets, closets).
• Cover the boat with a tarp or canvas (out of sight, out of mind).
• Store in a well lighted area.
• Keep a lock on the trailer tongue connection.
• Chain the trailer to a secure object.
• Remove a trailer tire.
• Install a securing cable to the outdrive.
• Never leave keys in the boat.
• Take pictures of your boat and inventory all equipment by recording a description of the item along with the make, model and serial number.
• Mark your property by engraving the items with your driver’s license number.
