stainless steel security wire locks

Hi do you mean lock alarms as I have just ordered 2 today .can give you the contact numbers if interested.

A ships chandler (boat stuff) should be able to make them up for you to your required lengths.

Mick,

Saw these lockable straps at Roof Rack World the other day.
They have hardened stainless steel cables running down each side.

If you're talking about stainless wire rope with swaged ends so you can lock them with a padlock, I've previously had them made up on the spot at Whitworths or Bias boat chandlers.

If you're buying the rope/swages etc from them they normally do the swaging free for you.

GDay Mick. I went to a bike shop and bought a security cable for about $25 to do exactly what you want. They had them dearer and cheaper than that. Comes complete wth a pretty flash lock with 2 circular keys. A decent lock alone is $20 these days.

If someone wants something bad enough they will do whatever it takes to "remove" it from you, best you can hope for is to slow them down.

I've seen an electronic siren that attaches to the 'fridge or solar panel' that screams like a banshee when the power is de-activated from it by cutting the security cable, it had a small "notice" attached to warn would-be 'light handed priks' that the siren would activate immediately the cable is cut, and clearly stated they should be able to run very fast with the goods before the legitimate owner put their head out of the door to see who was stealing their beloved possessions.

(use thick chain inside a thicker plastic 'hose' to secure outboard to front drawbar)

Hi Mick, problem is the old saying that locks only keep honest people out. If the mongrels want it, they will take it.
Good luck & cheers

All you can do is make someone else's stuff look more appealing.

The more inconvenient it is to nick, then they will go else where. I used to fit security windows to shops and found that after a second attempt to get in, the shops we fitted the products to wouldn't have any more problems for quite a while. The little toe rags are often repeat offenders and the word gets around quickly who the easy targets are.

Hardened chain inside an old bike inner tube works well. Wire rope can be cut in time but, again, if you make it too hard they will look for an easy option.

Claymore mines should be made available to honest campers ;-)

As far as securing outboard motor security is concerned, most of them have clamp handles that are lockable.

Whether you are clamping them to the boat transom, or to a "transport" bracket on the drawbar, etc., by doing up the clamps, you should them be able to pass a padlock through the holes in the handles, making it very hard to remove the outboard.

Mick,
I came across this site some time ago. Maybe it has what you want...
