I'm curious what other have installed on their boats to protect against theft and breaking in.

The problem with tha motion detector or a car alarm on a boat is. If a wave its it a the boat goes up a little and breaks the beam for the motion detector it will set it off. If you use a car alarm type the wind or wave will shake the boat a little and the sensor will pick it up as a break in and set the alarm off. The best bet for boats is to lock them up in the garage or a storage lot. Unless the make a alarm for boats with a pager type alert system. Other wise you may have a lot of false alarms your chasing.
