Dave has been boating since he was 8 years old and started fishing with his Dad on the Clyde in the days when fishing was good in a small Micro Plus with a 4 HP engine that would not even get the boat through the Rhu narrows when the tide was running.

This does not just work for boat theft but also if you boat drags an anchor, becomes unattached from the mooring, is borrowed without permission etc. Interestingly more and more insurance companies will offer a discount when these are fitted and we expect this to become a standard security device fitted to all new boats.Deterrent is still the best option and hence we advise that all outboards have visible locks.
