Location: Forest Lake, Mn. | "Locks for trailer wheels so the boat can't be stolen?"
I bought a Fulton Gorilla Guard Trailer Keeper Lock for my 2005 Eagle trailer. It doesn't fit. The lug nuts on the trailer are to long to allow the locking bar to seat properly. The idea is that with the lock on the wheel, the trailer can't be towed or moved anywhere. I bought this at Cabelas and it's the only one in the catalog.
So I am looking for another option. Does anyone know if any good, reliable wheel locks for boat trailers? I am not looking for locks that fit on the coupler, I want something that goes on the wheel of the trailer and prevents it from moving.
Links to websites that show the locks or to places to purchase whould be apprecated.
Thanks
Love'em and Leave'em

Bass & Vilas Cty.Muskie | My buddy kept his boat at a unused Cottage in Eagle River area for the Fall one year and use a large braided cable(probably 5/8in.) with a big Master Lock that he threaded this thru the rim of his trailer wheel and the frame of the trailer and kept the lock under the boat to protect it from the weather. He used a 4/5 foot cable so it was very noticeable.

Thanks to all for the ideas. I will look into the suggestions closer.
I was the victim of a home burglery a few weeks back and my boat sits in the garage. Normally, one would think that it is safe there, but if theives will come into the home then there really isn't any reason they wouldn't take a boat out of a garage.
I got lucky this time. They didn't touch it. Thank God!! I mean that sincerely too. Thank God. But it's the old saying; "Fool me once shame on you,fool me twice shame on me." So I figure if I can add something else to the trailer to slow them down it's one more reason for a criminal to go elsewhere.
Might be a good idea for everyone to add locks to their equipment.
Love'em and Leave'em
