Packing the boat this morning and realized my 1kw has gone and the 600w backup has also had a haircut
in atwell
not much you can do
my only thought is the rip it off each trip (I don’t use the boat as much as I once did) and just connect it up to the plug under the gunnel each time I’m heading out
not ideal but I’d have some money on them coming back for another visit because let’s face it, it will be replaced
On the plus side we ended up with a heap of whiting for bait for next years trips away
might leave the sounder at home more often

Sorry to hear that. The pin
Sorry to hear that. The pin design is shit with the split rings on each end making it easy to remove. I replaced the top pin with threaded rod and nylocks, making it harder to remove as they would need the correct tools.

Sorry to hear the scum hit you, from memory this isn’t the first time?
Instead of removing with plugs etc it might be worth considering a metal box that sits loosely over the top and padlocks on, a couple of tabs welded on to the trailer and or I bolts, nothing is impenetrable but it might be enough to make them reconsider (too hard) and move on. The plugs are a potential bad connection point anyway
trouble is they can always break into your shed or garage if they are that keen anyway

SIlver fox are you meaning
SIlver fox are you meaning wetbox on the transom? How would this be more secure then a trann? Im curious....
Jack they cut enough of the cord (abour 300mm) so would be able to get another plug on it....would look funny if trying to sell as it would be a short corded tm260.

Nope
Wet box mounted on the inside of your hull. Tranny sits in a bath of antifreeze solution and shoots straight through the hull . If they can steal that then I give up ! .
