Locking up yak on roadtrip - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Here is my $0.02.

I found a pipe that is about the same size as the scuper holes.
Went to Home Depot.
Found the wire that had the plastic coating and the crimps for each size.
started making loops as small as I could with still fitting the lock through with the largest wire first and then keep downsizing the wire until I found a wire, crimp, and loop combination that would fit throught the scuper holes. Bought enough cable and crimps to make a cable for each kayak and then one more to run though all of them again. make the cables long enough to run around your tow hitch of the frame under the truck.

Use high grade locks, one for each cable.
The more locks and cables means more noise and longer to get away.

Trap it while storing it, to keep it our of sight out of mind.

Back into the space and try to find a wall.

Remember, locks only keep the honest person honest.

Make sure to get the cable with the plastic coating or over time the cable will just cut a grove into your yak.
