I've responded before on this cable issue, sometimes personally sometimes public. but I will say it again; cable is the worst of the retaining methods to use. Short of 3/4 inch cable, 19.6 mm, easily concealable cable cutters can cut through your security in less than . 5 seconds per cable. I use 5.0 mm coated, aircraft, cable myself but that is purely for restaurants, pit stops, and places you can watch your boat. If I travel I always get a ground floor room, and inspect it to make sure I can get my kayak in the room. That is safe, but annoys the maids to no end unless you leave your DND sign up all day. Were I to leave it on the truck overnight, I'd use the biggest hardened chain I could find, with the best locks. Still, I wouldn't be surprised if some enterprising thief found a way through. Short of staying with your boat there's no way.
