Boat Theft
Boat theft can easily be avoided by taking some basic steps to minimise the risk of loss to your boat.
- It’s important to keep an inventory of your boat’s contents up to date - this will help you ascertain exactly what’s gone missing in the event of a theft.
- As you would at home think about installing an alarm. Also include a tracking device in case the boat is stolen and ensure an anti-theft device is fitted to your outboard motor.
- Always secure your boat for any stop when on a trailer with a wheel clamp. Remember to secure your dinghy to the primary boat using a chain or cable with a padlock.
- Select your marina carefully and choose one with full time security and good lighting
.
- If you store your boat at home avoid leaving it visible and accessible from the road or street.
