So what security exists for electrical leads where peeps berth?
Here they are are freely unpluggable, even transferable to another boat while still on your meter! By comparison, at Hamble Point no-one uses the safety latches provided.
Daily moorings checks - really? - didn't stop my boat being unplugged and moved 60 ft, leaving it unheated in frosty weather. The resulting panic was heard on the Motorboat Forum but didn't penetrate the upper echelons of management.
IMHO the provision of security locks is an issue for berth holders' associations everywhere to pursue.
In contrast, at a nearby yard the 240V supplies need individual padlocks at the metered source - foolproof? Only if duplicate keys weren't kept in a box which anyone can access. So after 6 weeks ashore someone had run up over 900 units on my account!
(in-joke for Evadne et al . . .)
