One of the most convenient locks you can get for the trailer hitch lock is the Bolt brand lock. You get ones that are keyed to your vehicle key. I only have one tow vehicle, so I have a few of their locks, a pad lock, cable lock, hitch pin lock, and the trailer hitch lock and then they have a tongue lock. All keyed to my truck. So it’s one key for all and I don’t have to have a lot of different keys that always get lost. As long as you have your vehicle key you have the key to your hitch and trailer and all that. For the spare tire, you can buy a lock for it that screws onto the lugs and actually acts as the lug nuts for it, you can undo it by hand, no tool needed. The two halves connect to allow a padlock to lock them so they can not be unscrewed, and your tire stolen. I use the Bolt padlock there. I use the Bolt cable lock to attach to the rear tie down to the trailer. Since it is a vehicle key, and they make them for all types makes and models. You need to make sure you get one for your brand vehicle and type of key, standard cut or side cute. Since it is a vehicle key, they are harder to just rake pick like generic trailer and hitch locks are. Can still be done, but takes more of their time. For license plates, use nuts and use the security head bolts or screws. They need more than just a screwdriver or pliers. I am also surprised when you got stopped in the past they didn’t mention the reg numbers. I can see if your video the required spacing is not there lol. But really check out the Bolt locks. They are awesome and don’t have to worry about extra keys or misplacing one.
How the hell do you access the fire extinguisher if it is under the seat and you are on the water? Mine is in the front hatch and I can not imagine trying to get it if it was on fire. :(

Great presentation, Enjoy the Ride and be Safe.
Thank you for all this important information
Our pleasure!
Good advice on the research. Some launch places are just not safe.

Seems silly to have an extinguisher but it is required on all motorized vessels. You would be safer rolling the ski over
You should never have to pay to launch a boat
