Wanted to use this on my boat. Is there a way to secure it?

I am sorry I can't help you. I have two on my dock to keep the gulls away and they are nailed down tight. Not something for your boat!

The bottom of the owl has a hole about 3/4 to 1" in diameter where you might be able to mount to a pole with some jerry rigging. Not sure how stable it would be.

Not sure about boat, but there is a hole in the bottom where a piece of 1 1/4"PVC pipe will fit into. Secure pipe to piece of wood and may be use sandbag to prevent from blowing over.

this owl is a piece of crap....safe your money.....fill it with concrete and use it for an anchor for your skiff.....

Effective enough for scaring birds and keeping them from messing on our deck... but not sure about your boat. We used the sizeable hole on the bottom to slide it onto a piece of pvc pipe as far up as it would go. Winds have never toppled it... i think this method 'could' possibly work on your boat.

I was going to stick a small pipe up through the bottom so I could anchor it to the tree. Don't remember if I'd have had to make the bottom opening bigger or not. I had my tree treated and woodpeckers left, so I gave it to a neighbor who was having problems with the cedar on his house.

That's an interesting question...I suppose you could drill a hole on each side of the "log" part to run a wire through the base of the owl to something & then tie it down. Guess it depends on the boat. Wouldn't work on a Cobalt or a race boat, but maybe on a fishing boat seat? Good luck!

As a boater I would say NO. I don't think it is stable enough for that use.

I tried to see if we can, however i do not think it's possible. If securing is important for you, you want to buy it and take to local hardware shop to weld something to it or maybe the item listed below.Combination Bike Lock with Coated ChainHope it helps.

I would not leave it unprotected. Search Amazon for plastic project box or WaterTight Cord Lock.

I haven't tried to attach it to a boat, but I have attached it to the side of a fiberglass bathtub. It is important to stick it to a clean smooth surface. It will not hold otherwise

You can tie a rope on one of the pillows if you are stationary. I wouldn't tow it behind the boat if it is moving.

theres a pin that holds it on the pole. You could put steel cable through it and use a lock.

I wouldn't see why not you may have to use a hook or latch on the pole to secure it

I have seen people do that before. I think you just need to be ABSOLUTELY sure about the strength of whatever you're anchoring it to. It doesn't take up a lot of space so other than hanging/safety techniques it's a cinch. I hope that sufficiently answers your question.

Depends on the Gunnal of the boat and how you mount it, if it's thin put a suitable backing plate below, otherwise yes the holder is.....

Yes, I mounted mine on a side panel of my pontoon boat. Use stainless screw, washer, and lock nut to secure.

I used this switch on my boat; however, it need to be installed somewhere protected from the elements. If you have a such a place with easy access, I highly recommend this switch.

You should be able to. It has a clamp and mount you could screw into ceiling. There may be issue with the weight pulling down so you might want to put a mount with a small pipe coming out of that Visidec pipe could slide inside/outside and you could drill threw and put a bolt. If the monitor is on the heavy side depending on how much the boat moves the monitor might drift. So may need and extra "strap" to keep it place. You will have to definitely secure it when you sailing or the monitor will move around.

I see no way of securing it. We've just had some bad storms and heavy rain in the area; the bench sits out between two trees and flower pots and it has never tipped over. If someone wants it, it's a heavy piece to be taking. Not something you could easily carry off.

Take a piece of rope and thread thru the bottom loops and secure to pontoon

Yes, it should be secured. I drilled a hole in each side and fastened it with cable ties

I think best bet would be to use treaded rod and bend it around post and into the holes, using lock nuts inside box to secure it really tight
