I bought a 1" cable that I run around the boathouse piling and thru my steering wheel with a huge lock holding it. All of this takes about 10 min to do/undo each time I go out. To me, I have no problem taking 10 minutes to avoid having about $10k worth of stuff stolen. What you do is totally up to you but as far as the general area, my understanding is there's not a big problem with theft but don't make it easy on them either.
