High Security Washboard Lock?

[Tim Good]

Does anyone know of or have installed a high security rim lock in their washboards?

My washboards are solid as hell and a stainless rim lock lock the hatch and prevents it from sliding in the uppermost washboard. Fairly standard setup. It uses a fairly standard rim lock like this:

I basically wanted to avoid fitting a padlock and hasp or some other convoluted system if I can replace with a solid rim lock of sorts.

If the ungodly want to get in your boat, a high security rim lock won't stop them. I'd just rely on the lock you have now, and your insurance.

The damage to your boat with a chainsaw may be more than the items stolen.

My HR came with something like it. It is neat and works fine, but I do worry about the mayhem anyone might cause if they wanted to break in.

Have a look at the website of Baseline Marine in Fareham. A brilliant supplier!

The finest-IMHO-washboard lock available is the "Hatchlatch".

Not cheap, but top quality and security with the option of being securly fastened from inside, but allowing possible rescuers to obtain entry from outside-a RORC requirement I believe.
