You don't need security systems for your boat, right? Although boats might seem like a low security risk, they are actually at danger, whether docked or in the water near other boats or people. If you own a boat, it is important that you take the precautions to protect it, just like you would your home.

Your first way to protect your boat is by thoroughly investigating the marina or any other location where your boat is stored. Too many boat owners only consider storage areas in terms of the storage conditions, completely ignoring the security aspect. How good are the security systems? Are there security guards and cameras? Are identities checked before visitors are allowed access to the boats? Is the overall geographic area a safe one? Be aware of the surroundings, including any potential dangers. Whether your boat will only be docked there for a few nights, or you plan to leave it there all winter long, security should be one of your top priorities when selecting a marina or a boat storage location.

Use sturdy locks on all doors, lockers, and hatches. Remember, criminals around your boat aren't just looking to steal it � they may also be interested in the possessions you keep on board, from life vests to that expensive new GPS system you just installed. It is particularly important to consider the security of your motor, because these are frequently targeted by thieves who hang around boats.

Never leave the keys in the ignition, no matter where you are. This might seem like common sense, because you'd probably never think to do it with your car, but far too many people think nothing of leaving their keys in their boat, never imagining that someone would try to steal it when you're so close by.

Consider installing alarms on your boat. There are many different sensors and alarms designed for boat use. Another popular solution is to install simple door and window alarms on entry points to the boat, or pressure mats that sound an alarm when stepped on. Any of these alarms is very difficult to ignore, even if no one but the thief is in the immediate vicinity.

It is equally important to turn on the alarms while you're below deck as when you're away from the boat. What if someone enters the boat while you're below deck taking a nap? A loud beeping alarm will alert you to the stranger's presence immediately. If you'd like to check in on your boat while it's docked, consider installing security cameras that allow you to watch what's happening over the internet.

Finally, consider boat insurance, which will protect your boat and the items you keep on the boat in the event that either are stolen. Many boat owners try to put as little money as possible into boat maintenance and security, but it is important to protect your investment by taking the right security precautions. Too many boating enthusiasts don't think about alarming their boat or otherwise protecting it from harm until something happens to it.
