The recovered the boat and trailer with no motor and the dually is still missing as well. Someone once told me locks keep honest people honest, if someone truly wants it they will find a way. 1989 22' Sentry 225 Yamaha SW

Cordless angle grinders make quick work of just about any locking device but I believe in at least making it inconvenient for a thief. I use a thick multi-strand cable lock through a wheel and around the frame. Good insurance is my only real comfort. A few years back I had twin 250's stolen off the transom of my cuddy cabin while it was in the water at a marina. I'd have loved to seen video of the theft to know how they accomplished it.

With this device I think it would be hard to cut off but could be dragged up on a hauler leaving a skid mark. like Johnny said any deterrent is better than nothing. A lock on the tongue can always be unbolted a new tongue put on. When I got this I had never seen them before, that's the reason I posted this picture for someone who is never seen something like this. Guts/AKA/Kim

I think I'm going to more seriously consider something like that. Trailers being stolen at the ramp parking lot seem to be pretty common here. Guts, does your device prevent the removal of the trailer tire? I've seen some that have a metal dish of sorts that covers the lug nuts.

So the wheel cannot be removed without cutting the apparatus. My experience is cutting galvanized with a torch is not that easy to do. Guts/AKA/Kim

Seems like this one looks the best out of the 2-3 various trailer wheel clamps. Happy Hols - Christmas - what have you - to you all!
