I probably run against the grain with traditional thought of having multiple uses of items. My experience is when that tack is taken the item seldom does anything especially well.............the lock is a perfect example.

Mat..........cable locks thin enough to go through the tug eye might not be to hard to find. BTW.........I ordered the tug eye but was rebuffed when informed he wasn't supplying the type I ordered at this time..........."check back later". Just as well, the Expedition has a through hull fitting designed to accept a stabilizer pole to cat up to another boat. Works for me.

I like the little radio shack alarm............I have had it for several years now. It also has a flashlight function (so much for doing just one thing well eh?). The light flashes on and off if the alarm is triggered. (while the bear was munching my oats I quipped to my buddy at the time........."Dinner with music and a light show" :D )
