Fishing tournaments out of town I’m always worried about my gear. I usually just take it all in the room or camper, which is a beating with the amount of gear we all have. What’s the best way to feel comfortable leaving it in the boat. An alarm system or the lock bar? Or neither , or something o?

I've used a baby monitor several times and felt good about it. It picks up the slightest noise and will also start beeping if the power is cut from the outside.

Loc-R-Bar and a driveway alarm from Harbor Freight. That combination is not foolproof but pretty good. Using 2 of HF sensors, one in the boat and one under the boat (against a tire hides it) is a good way to do it. Those HF systems are <$20.


Advice? Wise men don't need it. Fools won't heed it.

Had this on my Skeeter for 2 years and works great. Doesn't draw a lot of power, perfect vibration sensitivity, and the remotes work well

I have had a 2 way paging alarm that I have been putting in boats for years.

You can arm all boxes or all boxes with shock sensor.
It has 2 way paging remote that vibrates, makes noise and lights up.
Perfect for being on the road staying at hotels etc.

I also have a mobile installer in the DFW.


Thank you,
Shawn Smith

Your website says you are out of stock. Any idea when you will get some in? Also, what is your price on a boat alarm without LED lights?

Like everything else the alarm has gone up in price.
They run $299.99
It takes me about 7 to 10 days to get them and prep them.
