ABSTRACT:
A boat locking apparatus is provided for a boat that has a centerboard slot which has a predetermined width and a predetermined height. The boat locking apparatus includes a lock-retaining assembly which includes a first end portion adapted for connecting with a flexible connector, which includes a mid-portion extending distally from the first end portion, and which includes a second end portion that is connected to the mid-portion. A predetermined distance which includes the first end portion, the mid-portion, and the second end portion of the lock-retaining assembly is greater than the predetermined height of the centerboard slot. The lock-retaining assembly has a width which is less than the width of the centerboard slot. An extensible lock assembly is connected to the second end portion of the lock-retaining assembly. The extensible lock assembly includes a pair of selectable extensible/retractable members capable of being oriented in two selectable orientations, a retracted orientation in which the extensible/retractable members are oriented along a longitudinal axis extending along the lock-retaining assembly such that the extensible/retractable members extend transversely by a distance less than the width of the centerboard slot and an extended orientation in which the extensible/retractable members are oriented transversely to the longitudinal axis and extend transversely by a distance greater than the length of the centerboard slot.
