There is a company called Celevoke www.celevoke.com that sells a gps and security system

I installed alarms and stereo equipment for a few high end stereo shops in my earlier years, so this may help you in your search for a boat alarm inexpensively. first off the magnetic switches are not the way to go in my opinion. I perfer the pin style switches that are used with trunk applications on vehicles (dime a dozen at any stereo shop, since they come in every new alarm box). These switches work off continuity such as most switches so you will just wire the negative side of the battery (or the boat if grounded) to the switch on all lids to be triggered. Then install the head module and siren with just the basic wires (ground and power) if using a remote control to operate. Then connect the other trigger wire on the pin switch to the negative trigger wire on the module harness and your done. There is also another way that does not require a vehicle alarm module or remote. Simply order a battery backup siren and use a toggle switch on the negative side of the siren coming from the pin switches to the siren to provide negative and just wire up siren to the positive side of the battery and your done. Make sure you hide the siren and the switch well (preferably not in the same place) . Then you have a switch activated alarm that will sound for x amount of time (usually one minute to five minutes)after rod box is opened (even if shut back immediatly since that backup battery keeps powering the siren). Any questions feel free to pm or post back on the thread. hope it helps with the theft problem. Just imagine the look on a theifs face when he thinks he hit jackpot and this siren or two starts screaming in the middle of the night. Combine this with a quality game camera and PRESTO you got yourself a busted boat theft ring.

I took it to the next level . . . I actually have my boat monitored through my home security system. Its all RF (wireless) so when I arm my house, the boat is monitored. I also have a portable control panel that I leave in the truck that I can use to monitor the boat when im on the road. This is easily done if you have an RF supported security system in your home.
