Default Lost boat key

I have been looking for my boat key for the last few weeks to no avail. I put them up before our cruise and haven't seen them since. I talked to Gilliams but no real help. I guess a locksmith will have to be called. I am tried of not wetting a line; it's down right sinful! What would you guys do?

If I lost my key I would have on heck of a fit. I always keep a spare hidden in the boat somewhere. I would just forget where I hid it! Travis is your best option and closest to you.

That sucks to have lost your keys.But heck I got about 10 sets made for mine and staged all around.But the only set I know I can go straight to is the one set in the boat in the ignition.

Hook em and bring em in the boat.

A dealer that carries your line of motor should have or get a key.

I talked to a locksmith and was told $50 service call and 20-40 for the key. I don't think so!!!! I'll try a marine center.

I think I would install a new ignition switch that would be cheaper than a locksmith.

The dealer can get you a key. OMC keys I ahve never had to get but the merc dealer sells all keys here for about 3 bucks. Worse comes to worse you can replace the switch for about 20 bucks.

Default Merc dealer

I bought several from my Merc dealer. Yours should have them too.
There aren't that many different cuts of keys.
