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 and a second end portion extending distally from the first end portion. A predetermined distance which includes the first and second end portions 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. A transverse lock assembly is connected to the second end portion of the lock-retaining assembly. The transverse lock assembly is capable of being oriented into two selectable orientations, a non-locking orientation in which the transverse lock assembly is contained within the predetermined width of the slot and a second locking orientation in which the transverse lock assembly cannot be contained within the predetermined width of the centerboard slot.
