Thanks for your opinion. No disrespect intended, but I think youre kidding yourself if you think thieves are not aware that some boats have alarms and if easily disabled, how to do it.I am also aware of reports of thieves using the winch strap to rip out the Loc-R-Bar, but the possibility of that can be lessened by also locking down the winch! The Loc-R-Bar is certainly not thief-proof given one with the will and the time. But, that said, if you have a group of boats gathered in one place (like a tournament overnight) and some boats with visible locking systems (Loc-R-Bar, etc.), and some without — which boats do you think they will target?Yes. removing rod box contents is an alternative and lacking additional security is likely what Ill do.I just wish BassCat had chosen to make the arming and disarming of the alarm on their boats more secure; eg. password/code, keylock, hidden switch, etc. That is certainly do-able and would not be expensive.The main reason I posted the question is to try to find out if there are any good reasons NOT to install one — such as possible/probable damage to wiring running in the area!Hopefully BCB will get on here later and provide some clarification of their thinking on the subject.C.
