Default power off the lifts

New Formula w/triple 275 Verados just stolen from the Palaco Grande neighborhood. In the middle of the day no less. Turn off your power when not in use.

Maybe the same one. Next door the keys were in the Baja. Owner says maybe he will just let down his left and leave it running. It's worth more to him stolen. heh heh heh. In all seriousness Im trying to get a friend in the business to perfect and simplify a package that puts a hidden transponder on the boat and unit in the house. When the boat gets 50 ft from the dock without disarming it dials for help. will work on the trailer too.

Here you go, Harry. I have installed this on my boat. I can go on line anytime and see where my boat is. It is also interfaced with Google Earth and maps. It has a " geo fence " you can activate and if boat moves a set distance a mesasage is sent to your cell phone. My insurer gave me a 10% discount on the hull which more than paid for it. $432.00 + taxes etc. $37.00 a month for monitoring charges but that may a bit high as I have coverage in both US and Canada.
Added benefit - it has a belt clip so eventually when I get alzheimers or should I say when it gets further advanced, I have instructed my family to take it out of the boat and clip onto my belt. LOL Seriously, that is one of the uses for the product.

There is another one called www.streateagle-gps.com
They just released one that has a waterproof magnetic case. So you can move it from a car, boat, trailer etc...
Works really well

Thanks, those are great. especially if they catch a thief. I was thinking of something else so it would tie into my home alarm.

I'm a bit confused. What Formula has triple Verados?
Are you sure this isn't the Fountain..same boat?
Where was it stolen from?
