Maybe no secret to anyone with access to an oxy-acetylene torch ... but most of the thieves we're dealing with don't have access to this type of tool ... and yes, Jerry's right -- thieves generally don't use anything taking 5 minutes of noise to steal an outboard while someone's sleeping inside the boat.

The fact remains, they want your outboard, not your dinghy... the dinghy is almost impossible to replace, the outboard is not. Take an extra 5 minutes a day and put the outboard on your rail and make it too hard for them to get!
