Alarm for Cockpit & Cabin Any Suggestions
So I drove by the marina today and noticed my cockpit cover was pulled back. Upon further inspection, it had been broken into. It happened between yesterday evening and this morning. I have a very valuable stereo system, GPS, etc installed on the boat. All of my stereo equipment has been custom mounted so it is not easy to remove. From what I can see all that was taken was my 2 handheld VHF radios from the glove box. They broke 3 LED light bars that are mounted under the rear seats... So total I am out about $225.00 But I am now fearful a return visit may be on the horizon. So I am looking to have an alarm installed ASAP. I only live 1 block away from the boat so I am thinking about a 2 way paging alarm so when it goes off, I will be able to meet the S.O.B.s at the boat and knock their a$$ into the water.... Are there marine specific alarms that fit the bill or would a standard car alarm made for convertibles work? Any of you have experience with such devices?
My main fear is next time, they may try and remove the stereo equipment. With the way I have mounted things, I forsee a ton of damage to cockpit and cabin panels..... |
Ck out GOST Security products. The make alarms and tracking systems that will notify you while it is happening along with being able to track the boat like lojack if they steal it. Might even lower your ins. If you want more info send me a pm.

I ended up buying a Python Auto Alarm system with a Proximity sensor. It has a SIM card in it that will send a text message to my phone when it is set off. It also has an add on GPS unit that will track its location if stolen. It is smartphone integrated so I can monitor it from the phone and arm/disarm from my phone if I forget the key fob. I will install myself, total price shipped was a little over $300. The service fee for the SIM card is $50 a year.
Shouldn't be too hard to install. It isn't like i have to hook up the remote start, door locks, etc...... But i may install the starter interupt. |

Plus, If I hook up the remote start the boat can be warmed up and ready when I get to the dock:lolhit:
