[QUOTE="richg99, post: 272250, member: 4376"] Since I leave my boat, in the water, at a somewhat public dock all Summer long, I fastened a long piece of chain and a lock on it. It should discourage the casual thief, and has for a couple of years now. The chain also should keep the trolling motor from bouncing off when I smack some waves. I dropped and lost a TM into the bay once. It wasn't fastened using anything but the hand-clamps. Ever since then, I've had some sort of secondary rope/chain/cable on my TMs at all times. Sometimes the chain can get in the way, but it is necessary where my boat is parked, just outside of a bar and in the #1 stall nearest the festivities. regards, Rich [/QUOTE]
