With the price of gas, I'd like to get a locking gas cap. Can anyone recommend one that fits a 2004 21 Outrage?

You
DO know that locking gas caps can be opened with a screw driver ... don't you.

I didn't know a screwdriver could be used to open a locking gas cap. Do all of the thieves know this? ie... is it a waste of money to invest in a locking gas cap?
Is there any other way to stop gas siphoning?

As someone in the industry, I can tell you a well lit area will help you more than most anything. 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.
