Locking Gas Cap: Is Perko OEM on 1985 Chriscraft ?

Have been warned by friends at dock that fishermen steal gas. My slip is ripe for the plucking. would like to install locking gas cap, but don't know what brand to buy. Need to know if Perko is the OEM for this part on my boat. If not, then suggestions would be appreciated.

Here's the one I'm looking at:

Not too sure if it would work. My 178 cane with a "standard" cap and mount. I would think you can replace the entire cap/filler assembly to give you the locking cap, but crooks are smart and have been known to get access to under the filler, cut the line, and syphon away. They can also get to your tank by removing the tank sender access panel, removing the sending unit and stick the hose directly in the tank.​
