The 3 digit combination lock is the most popular for securing the boat. The combinations are re-settable, it is weather resistant, and it eliminates the hassle of keeping track of keys. Some people prefer the key lock, especially if they go to their boat a lot at night. The combination and key lock, both optional, function by rotating a cam into or behind a keeper. The original padlock and hasp (above, far right) can always be used. Although, a bit cumbersome, and seemingly out of place with the beautiful upgrade, many sailors think it is the most secure method of locking-up the boat.
