Example: 76, 77, 78, 79, etc....... All you need to do is call your dealer and tell them the number on the key. They can then send you out a new one.... or two...... I always keep a spare in my tow vehicle in case something happens. You never know... Both my spare key and the key I use in the boat of course have the WhalerCentral keychain on them..... http://www.whalercentral.com/photogal...oto_id=323 Edited by Joe Kriz on 05/10/08 - 3:46 PM

My (lone) key is in one of those OMC rubber handle thingies (technical term) and I can't figure out how to get it out to read the number, any number, hidden within. Don't want to break or damage it with pliers... This is like some kind of brain teaser puzzle! Jim

Take a look at the BRP Online Parts Catalog. The catalog will show you the part numbers for the covers and the key numbers.

We have the blanks that are like most door keys with a straight shank. Many we can cut from that key number which is the code. Mike
