I don't know that one, but it looks impressive...almost looks like a challenge. wink

Here is an older thread w/ some various options for some ideas. There are some pics of my Master Lock coupler lock which was a little under $25.

1) Trimax stainless drawbar locking pin
2) Trimax stainless locking coupler pin (matched cylinders)
3) McGard wheel locks (including the spare)
4) McGard DuoProp prop lock
5) McGard DuoProp drive lock
6) Paid-up insurance

Bowline, if you're slipping at Port of Kimberling you can arrange to leave your trailer in their gated area - if you make arrangements with them ahead of time and assuming it's not under water :-/ . Otherwise they have an ungated field they'll send you to, which is patrolled closely. In 3 years in that field I've yet to hear of any problems.

Mike - I'll be at the Stillwater Resort on the southside of the Kimberling Bridge. I'm looking into the products that you listed. I like the Trimax Wheel Lock (looks like "The Boot"), but they haven't priced it on their site yet. It looks like that product would take care of pretty much all of my trailer lock needs.

That'd set me back some $'s if those were swiped.


Make sure the spare on the tow vehicle and the trailer are secure, that is what gets the most attention in hotel parking lots.

Really? Wouldn't have thought of that! Thanks for the tip. Looks like I'll need a tlre/wheel lock for that too. Although, my spare isn't a Marathon!

Had 2 stolen from my father's boat in a hotel parking lot. Someone stole my trailer license plate last year in a hotel parking lot.

Bowline, if the water doesn't drop, you'll need to decide which side of 13 you're going to boat on, because I just heard that you can't even pass under the bridge right now. Amazing.

Wow - thought that you could pass under the bridge on the north side, albeit barely. The resort I'll be at has their ramp and dock on the end of the lake that is not on the Joe Bald side. Hopefully it won't be an issue at the end of June. In any case that still leaves a heck of a lot of lake to boat on.

Could be - I was just reporting what I was told by a friend of my daughter - who's family is currently building a house near Indian Point.
