Keith, In the vein of minimalism where single objects perform multiple tasks, I employ a thin cable as a security device and as a tether/stern line. The cable is looped at each end, is padlocked inside the pickup truck bed with the other end padlocked to a security loop that I installed on the back deck, well aft of the rear hatch. The cable is not held under tension, but could keep the boat from sliding off of the front of the truck in an emergency. Mike.
