Maybe a good idea but one word of caution. My Dad ran a drilling company and they had a problem with gas and diesel thefts. He had the great idea of putting on locking gas caps so the thieves just punctured the tanks to get what they wanted. He eventually gave up on the locking gas cap idea as the cost to replace tanks was so much higher than just the gas. Probably not an issue for boats with built in tanks but for a pontoon boat it would be just as easy to punch a hole in the tank and siphon as pulling off a gas cap.
