hidden Satellite GPS anti theft Tracker

[coopec]

Would it be feasible to mount the transmitter (with solar charger ) at the top of the mast?

Apparently there are some very expensive yachts stolen every year.
"As the weather warms up so do the yacht thieves all over Europe.
So far this month, at least four big boats have gone missing – three from the South Coast
of England and one from Malta.
Thanks to www.stolenboats.org.uk and YBW stolen boats and gear forum and MCS Germany for the info."

Why do people feel they need a specialist tracker?

A discreetly hidden AIS transponder with an independant rechargeable power supply will do the job.

Does anyone have a hidden Satellite GPS anti-theft Tracker installed? We are looking to get one thus looking for recommendations. Googled Satellite GPS Tracker (No Mobile Signal Needed) [Free Next Day Delivery] or https://www.amazon.co.uk/Wasserdicht-Echtzeit-Professional-Anti-verloren-Motorcycle/dp/B07DCQXPPC which seems to be fit for purpose. we need a long battery and ideally one-off cost (i.e. not a subscription)
thanks

Stash it somewhere, no cables, leads, lights
Turn up the report time and the battery lasts for ages.
Just have to charge it up from time to time Old style phone charger does the job.
