- The most difficult lock to create.
- When you create the boat, a default 1 ql lock with no key is automatically attached to it.
- The boat's inventory window must be closed to attach or remove a boat lock, otherwise the option to Lock or Unlock won't appear.
- To attach a boat lock, activate the lock, right-click the boat, and select Lock.
- To remove a boat lock, right-click the boat, and select Unlock.
- You cannot use the key to access the cargo hold, permissions are managed in the Manage vehicle dialogue.
- Holding the key to a boat's lock allows you to see the inventory, but you cannot take items without the proper permissions.
- Only the owner of the boat may attach, reattach or remove the boat lock.
