There are no REALISTIC security systems for this problem. Keep your boat in a well traveled area if possible (assuming you can't keep it in a locked secured garage). Also good old common sense, don't keep alot of gas in the tank. ....and yes, the guys stealing the gas know they can open a locked gas cap with a screw driver. ....and one last note, in case there is a question....I'm on the good side of the law, not the bad.
