For those of you that lock your dingy, how do you do it, what do you use? Do you lock to the boat davit as well or just when going ashore? I'm assuming you just lock the outboard somehow? I was surprised the charter company said nothing about securing the dingy on our trip. I thought they would even give us a lock. I too saw several people at CGB scoping out our dingy at the dingy dock. It was off season early last month and we were the ONLY one's on the beach. Went up to a bar to get a drink and came back to our towels and flip flops stolen where we were laying on the beach.


Every charter I've been on we've had a long cable and a lock for the dinghy. We just make sure it goes through the engine and gas tank and then lock it to the dinghy dock. I do lock it to the boat overnight...but that's probably overkill...but better safe than the pain in the butt of losing the dink.
