Does anyone know where I can find key blanks for said boat. No I haven't lost them, just need a couple extras.

Thanks,

Lars

Lars,

What is the key for?
The teak access doors?
Or the engine?

This would be an ignition key. The ignition switch is one of the push to prime types.

Lars,

OK..... Then this does not have anything to do with Boston Whaler boats basically.
This has to do with your engine and the manufacturer of that engine...
Boston Whaler didn't sell engines on their boats back then. The dealers put the brand of engine on that the customer wanted.

Now...... What brand of engine do you have?
What brand of switch if it is not original to the engine..... Aftermarket?

You would need to know those things and then contact Yamaha, BRP, Mercury, or whatever engine you have.....

Lars,
Many of the dealers or repair shops have the keys and blanks. Your local locksmith should also have them.

Thanks Mike,

Thanks again,

Lars,
I am a locksmith. Do you know what blank you need? Is it the small piston grip blank?
