Yanmar Key

[George H260]

Anyone know of a place to get one of the new type Yanmar keys? This is not the type that any key ever made fits. Dealer says they want $25 for one... seems outrageous even for a boat part that are typically outrageous anyway.Thanks in advanceGeorge

Get a new switch

You might be able to buy a new switch for cheaper... and it come with 2 keys

old key vs. new key

See, if you had the old style, you wouldn't be in this predicament! A screwdriver would work!

Key Repl Ripoff

I got one key when I bought our bought last spring so I looked all over the place and did not have any luck. Finally I went to the yanmar dealer and he sold me one . It was precut, in the bag and so was I. Ten bucks and he felt guilty enough to give me an extra key chain.

I just purchased keys from Mack Boring for my Legend 37. According to the people at Mack Boring all of their engines use the same key.

Yanmar Website

George,I am sorry to hear that someone asked $25.00 for the key. SOmmething doesn't sound right.Why don't you try to the Yanmar website for the key. Also, I would let them know who wanted to charge $25 for it. I think you need to let the HOW the name of the dealer, how much you paid for the key. Maybe there is something special about it?We have a 1998 376. The salesman told us it came with two keys. I asked for the second key numerous times. He indicated it was a 3$ item. I am glad now that we persisted!Mike D.Media, PAS/V SerenityH376

Key Rip off

Are you sure this is not the universal key? If it is, I have a couple of spares and I'd be glad to send you one.

Locksmith can Make

If you happen to have at least one key, a competent locksmith can make you one for less than $2 if he has the ABUS 55/60 blanks. Local one did it for me and they work just fine.

Thanks

Found one for $7 at a couple of places, appears to be the non gouging going price. By the way, for those that answered with the $2 keys, I am fairly sure that is the old "any key in the world fits it" Yanmar key, not the new ones that are very strange.Thanks for the info.George
