Don't leave important papers (title and registration)
on your boat.
Be a good neighbor; get to know other boat-owners in your
marina and work together to keep the marina secure. Report
any strangers at the marina to the marina owner. If your
marina is gated, don't give your marina access card or key to
other people. Keep the marina gate closed at all times.
Personalize your boat so it's easy to recognize.
Properly insure your boat.
Lock the boat trailer to the towing vehicle.
If storing a boat on a trailer, park it in a secured area,
Deter theft by keeping everything locked. You can purchase
trailer locks that you can attach to the coupler and spare tire,
as well as large models for the hub of your trailer wheels.
For the boat, there are locks to secure outboard motors and
propellers. Motor units cover the transom mounting clamps.
To secure your propeller, you can purchase a specialty lock
that replaces the prop nut and washer, allowing the unit to
operate when locked. The other option is a larger prop lock,
which connects the propeller to the out drive, or lower unit.
This style of lock must be removed for the motor to work.
or chain it to a tree, or if you must leave it in an
unsecured area, remove a wheel.
If your boat, trailer or gear is stolen, contact the police
immediately. Provide them with a list of everything that was
stolen, including the additional information you've gathered,
like serial numbers, photos, and registration and title.
Once you've reported the theft to the police, contact your
insurance company.
