I won't be able to store my boat in a garage (why are 20'X20' garages allowed in Texas?!) and I'm wondering what coupler locks y'all use? I've heard the Reese Towpower is very easy to break off. Any suggestions?

I use the locks that Lee above uses. Neighbor uses a steel pole in the ground with a hitch ball mounted on the top. Then uses the same lock to secure to a vehicle. He also locks his tow chains to the pole.

Don't sweat the small stuff. It's all small stuff.

Looks good. Have never heard or seen that one. May be much more secure
Burt, remember, a lock is only intended to keep and honest man honest. A determined thief will find a way to break it I'm sure

I'd put one on the hitch and then open the swing tongue and put a lock through it. You can get wheel locks too. The more locks you use the less chance they mess with it.
