[QUOTE="HoLeChit, post: 4136625, member: 35036"] I drag my John yacht out to some isolated areas sometimes, and sometimes I’m out hunting and my boat and trailer are attached to my truck. Sometimes I’m leaving my truck and trailer and going out on the boat. I use padlocks to lock my trolling motor and outboard to my boat. I padlock my boat winch to where you can’t release it to free my boat. I will use a cable to attach my boat and associated gear to my trailer, typically around the axle, and then chain it to a tree. Plastic coated Steel cable or 1/2” chain feels good and sturdy to me, and if you wanna be extra careful buy enough hydraulic hose rub guard sleeve to cover your chain/cable, it’s not easy to cut and it won’t cut with a bolt cutter. I also keep a lock on my hitch, and a ball lock if we’re not attached to the truck. My hitch itself is bolted on, and I have marred the threads to where you have to cut the bolts off the replace the hitch. I also padlock the safety chains to my truck and use a pintle hook type hitch, and I lock the hitch too if I remember. None of this is gonna stop someone, but if you want my stuff, you better have some time, the right tools, and the desire to really make it happen. [/QUOTE]
