I put an alarm on my current boat as my last was broken into twice while sitting on the lift at the marina. I had planned on getting some of the snaps for my current alarm setup. But when I started talking to some of the alarm companies, they mentioned that a lot of break ins occur with the cover being cut. Therefore, the snaps won't help much. For what it is worth, I put a sensor in the floor (it measures the pressure of the floor and if the boat is being tilted to a side) and sensors on all the compartments. Additionally, I added two sirens. One is under the dash and the other (a smaller, high-pitched siren) is mounted right above the batteries aimed right at the ear. My thinking was if someone tried to cut the power wires or get to the brains of the unit, they would lose some hearing in the process.
