Just as important, when you are done, reset the combination to something far from the actual combo (not just the 1st or last digit) and something you will remember to see if the lock has been open. I always re-set my combo’s to a specific value and can often tell if someone has been aboard.
As a broker, I am seeing a number of boats left unlocked after marinas have pulled the boats out of the water.

I used to have about 40 combinations on file and about 35 of them were 19XX. My old Arbus (Abus?) is doing OK after many years.

When I had my marine repair business, I recommended to my clients that they have a combination lock for access to the boat. Doesn't do much good if the boat is sinking and folks can't get into your boat because the key is with you miles away. A phone call to get the combo granting entry to fix the problem can save your boat. OK, now for my question. I was looking at buying a couple more 4 digit combination locks. I've long been a fan of the Sesamee K0436 4 digit combination locks. I have several on Touche'. They are 20+ years old and work great. The Abus 4 digit combo locks are OK also. The Master lock version is OK except the dials spin way too easily. You have to hold the numbers that you just set to keep them in place while you set the next number. It's irritating. However, as I was reading reviews on the Sesamee and Abus brands, I seems like both Sesamee and Abus may have cheapened their locks. Has any lister purchased a Sesamee in the last couple years that can shed light on the current manufacturing quality? Dennis C. Touche' 35-1 #83 Mandeville, LA
