Highfield… any regrets?

What are y'all doing to secure the dink and motor from theft?

I've padlocked the motor attachments together. Anything else?
I also use a cable lock with a round key. I go thru one of the transom struts and up behind the motor

securing the motor to the dink, or all of it to something else?
Your strut should have a hole in it where the floor meets the transom. Go thru there and up around the engine. Under my cowling there is a gap that you can go thru not around

So you are securing the motor to the dinghy…. So when they steal the dinghy they wont lose the motor

I use same style cable lock and go thru the tow hook and thru dock. That way if they steal the dock they wont lose the dinghy and motor:)

Never a bad idea to hide an air tag on it somewhere! Boy will they be surprised when you show up to take the dingy back with some friends. It helps me sleep at night even when anchored.
 
I had my new 20hp out for the fist time today. On a 310 I thought holy shit this is different. Just the EFI was impressive starting it… can’t wait to adjust the trim and play with that hp
They are amazing, I have the 25hp on my 340 and it’s quite fast
 
That is a very nice cover, who did you have make that?
I have the 340 and would like a cover like that, thank you
Me and my trusty Sailrite sewing machine. That was a brand new Taylormaid cover for a CC that I picked up for $20 at our local marina's swap meet and cut it up for the material....

If you can’t get @ttmott to make you a cover. I bought this a couple years ago and it fits really well and is still beading water after 3 seasons

 
A BIG THANKS FOR ALL THE TIPS !

Added airtags to the dink & motor today!

BEST!

I don’t know about this air tag business. You steal my dinghy I don’t want it back…. I would use the air tags to tell police where not to look.
My aunt had her impala stolen and found a month later….. it was trashed and they gave it back to her…. No thanks

I'm thinking... Tag it, with these installed and connected to transom/bilge drain/sink plugs, chase them to deep water and push the buttons!


 
Anyone put a 30 tohatsu on a 310?
Seems to be the same weight as a 25 ?

I used those for the rear spreader lights. Coming back in the black of night in the dinghy it's nice to light up the back of the boat remotely. They have a surprisingly good distance.
