securing your boat and gear from thieves

[Duncan]

I put a shock alarm on my boat but it does not go off when it is on the lift. It is very sensitive when on the trailer.

Oh bummer. Was planning on a shock alarm for the boat while on a lift.

what brand of alarm would work on a boat? I'm looking for one for when I'm pulled into a restaraunt or over at a friends house for the night.

I purchased the cheap one - Code Alarm ca100 - It only has shock. I would assume a motion pointed from under the dashboard would work better.

If you speakers have the 4-way Speakon connectors, then get a car alarm with "door open" inputs. Run a pair of 22ga wire up the tower to the plug. inside the can wire from -2 to +2. When the speaker is plugged up, you have a closed circuit, if the speaker is unplugged or the harness is cut, the alarm sees an open circuit, like a door opening, and sounds off. You can do all the tower speakers and add a switch to the console door with one series loop.

Did you ever see the James Bond where the car exploded when the bad guy tried to break the window with a gun? I’m just saying……

Yeah, do you know where I can get one of those car alarms?

For a more novel approach search YouTube for the trunk monkey... That's what I would use
