RjWoody4 - I went through this same exercise when I was looking for a spare key for my 1989 Johnson motor. I first went to Ace, then a locksmith, then another locksmith and they couldn't match the key blank. I ended up going to my local Marine Johnson repair shop and he had a whole drawer of these keys. We just matched the number on the keys, I got 4 extra keys at $5.00 a key. If your guy doesn't have the keys, check with Cape Charles Marine, in Cape Charles, Virginia, and Phil will help you out. Except for the key I use most of the time, I wouldn't worry about the boot. I hide one key on the boat in case it gets lost or goes overboard, and the others are kept back for spares or to to leave with the boat when I have work done on it. I hope this helps.
