How can I ensure my boat is secure from theft while in storage?

Security is a crucial aspect of boat storage to prevent theft or vandalism. First, choose a secure storage location. Marinas, storage facilities, or private property with good lighting, fencing, and surveillance cameras offer better protection.

Use quality locks and security devices. Lock all doors, windows, and hatches. Use wheel locks, hitch locks, or a trailer alarm system if on a trailer. Remove or disable the boat’s battery for added security, making it harder to start the engine.

Consider using a boat cover, as it protects from the elements and keeps the boat’s contents out of sight. If storing your boat at home, consider positioning it in a well-lit area visible from your house.

Installing a boat alarm system that notifies you in case of an intrusion can be a wise investment. Additionally, marking your boat and equipment with identifiable numbers can aid in recovery if stolen.

Inform the marina or storage facility staff that you’ll be storing your boat there, and ask them to watch for any suspicious activity. Regularly check on your boat during the storage period.
