| I do primarily the same as TJ. Park close to the building if possible, otherwise park under lights. Put the cover on (will keep the dew out of the boat in the AM too). Take ALL electronics off. Put all your baits away that you left laying around (either lock them up in a compartment or put them in your tackle box and bring that inside). Lock all lockable compartments. Put a lock on your trolling motor. Put a lock on the tongue of your trailer. Lock your kicker motor if you have one. Have never thought of locking the spare tire, but that would be a good thing too.
Our boat only has two lockable compartments: the rod locker and the built in "tackle box". We installed lock bars that go over the front two compartments and one that goes over the rod locker and tool/light/misc. box. That means the only things not locked are the two livewells that have nothing in them.
Protect your belongings. IMHO, there's no @#$%ier feeling than knowing someone ripped your stuff off, and it's an easy way to ruin a trip. | |
