Maybe have two dinks - so one can be left tied off the stern while you are ashore and when you are onboard, it looks like you have vistors.

As to the electric lifelines - just thinking deeper into this - not sure how to make it work as you need a return path. You could ground the system through the water but not sure how effective this will be if the bad guy isn't connected to the water. Would certainly work if they were standing in a wet(ish) wooden boat or Aly dink. Would be worth running the experiment, an electric fence energisier is not expensive.
