Does anyone know where I can get a locking boat gas cap? I would prefer a locking stainless steel one, versus the plastic ones I see out there.
Well, to make a long story short, someone siphoned our full tank of fuel some time off the boat between last October and now. 100 gallons plus of fuel gone....
We aren't sure where this happened at, because the last the boat was ran, was late October and it had a full tank of gas in the boat. It sat in a parking lot of a marina in October for 3 days while being serviced, and then it was at an indoor storage facility for the duration of time. We don't think anyone did this while the boat was in the drive at our house the last two weeks. We are guessing someone did it while sitting at the parking lot of the marina last October. Someone we know called the owner of the storage place where we store our boat, and he told them that our boat was only sitting outside maybe a total of 2 hours. An hour when we dropped it off, and an hour when we picked it up.
We are shocked it happened, but not surprised now that gas is at an all time high.
Now I know, whenever I leave the boat any where, for service or for storage while on the trailer, I will always check my fuel gauge before I leave their property. I never noticed it, because the fuel gauge doesn't read until you have the port side motor running or ready to run.
