: I think I'm wrong, the wrong part slides.

: Or if you had 1 loop of cable and one cable lock and put them in opposition
: from say the c/l of each rack tube around and under the coaming lip from
: ea end,it may be really difficult to even get cable cutters in.

: So just for simplicity say the racks were 6in ea side of the cockpit, and the
: circum of the cockpit was 70in. Drill a hole or attacha tab to the ctr of
: one rack and loop or wrap thru a continuous loop(weld or lock closed) say
: abt 70in plus 6in to the rack plus 6in back = 82 in long. Same thing for
: the front except a cable lock 82 long w/ some take up or sized for the
: yak.

: put yak on, put first loop around coaming and slid yak against it, put 2nd
: loop on and lock it.

: Prob don't have to even have tie it on, just use a front loop. Get some good
: stares- but it's like locked!Stealers will have a hell of a time getting
: the cable cutter jaws under the coaming or to the centre of the car/truck.

I gues you could do the opposing loop idea for the yak right side up too and even put on the cover. But the cables are quite more exposed for cutting.

Both presuppose the racks are locked or wont slide
