We found that the locks we use for the bikes work real well for the boats. We put the cables through the seats and around the locking bar of the rack. We just have to remember to put the cables on BEFORE we put the boats up or we have to start all over again. We too lost a boat but it was from the put-in when we went to leave the bike at the other end. Sad, but we learned there are no real safe places nor places where you can just trust people. Lock it then trust them. Joan "John C.
