Yep. I installed mine about a month ago on a 2018. Works great. You have to cut the rubber strip along the carpet because the gunnel is so low, but it looks great. Really easy to install. I followed the instructions in this video.
Thank You sir.
Why does one need a lok r bar if your latches have locks?
Latches aren’t very secure. The lock on the lock-r-bar has a built in alarm as well. Just makes it more difficult for thieves.
The thieves will bypass the boat with a Lok-R-Bar and hit the easy ones.
I guess overnight stays in hotels?
Yep motels at night. Cover and Bar
Because they're not really locks. Anything can open them, even a thumb screwdriver.Originally Posted by grayline

And how would you know this? Have you been stealing people's stuff?.....
Just kidding lol
No but I understand the need for a bar.... I've stayed in some shady hotels and cant sleep worrying lol
Even with the bar its not safe. There for a while the thieves were taking the front winch strap and pulling the bar out with that.
Myth. Not to mention - you know how loud that would be to even attempt that feat?
Just what I heard. If they want in they will get in.
You can believe whatever you heard. I've put them on 3 different boats and have no qualms leaving my gear overnight when on the road. Sure thieves can get in, but it won't be by conventional means. They will need a hell of a lot of tools and an ass load of time. Of course, they could always bring a a back hoe. I'm not saying the bar cannot be bypassed, but it won't be in your driveway or at a motel parking lot. It will be when the boat is stolen and in the confines of the thief's shop. The bar is relatively cheap insurance and with that loud-ass alarm on it, there is no way anyone is sticking around trying to get by it.
I saw a post somewhere showing a nitro with the bar. There was one v cut in it by a cordless sawzall, the bar was removed, and all the rods and tackle had been stolen. I was thinking about putting one on mine for my trip to Lake Erie since I was going to break the drive in half and stay in a hotel. I opted for the TH Marine boat alarm. It works pretty well. Scared my brother when he tried to climb onto the boat to get something.
Please show some pictures after it is installed. Very interested how it turns out...
Thank you...
