Re: Stus-List Yanmar Key source; Epilogue-an inelegant solution

[Richard N. Bush via CnC-List]

 hi all I have found an unplanned solutionI was bemoaning my fate to the 
local boat yard operator who said, "we'll we have a box in the back here with 
all kinds of keys people have left over the years why don't you look through 
it?"   There were literally hundreds of keys, and while I didn't find a perfect 
match, I found several that were close enough to fit the Yanmar key slot and 
turn on the power...;   yahoo...back in business!

When my key broke off in the on position I just left and use the battery switch 
to activate ignition.   I have done it for years.

Fleabay has a few options for a replacement yanmar ignition switch in the $25 
or less range, some marked marine. I don't see anything marine grade about the 
original ignition switch on my C 33.

Home Depot - Slot screw driver #2 works just fine, leatherman also

Yanmar blanks are $60ish and you can buy 10 new ignition switches
for the same price.



My yanmar switch went a while ago and just replaced it with a keyed
on/off for a lawn tractor.  As I recall, I was able to get one the
same size and shape

for $5.95.  Yes it isn't marine grade...but I can get 10 of them
before I get close to a key or switch replacement from Yanmar.



Food for thought.

Re: Stus-List Yanmar Key source

[Sam Wheeler via CnC-List]

I use the key for one of my lazarette locks to start my engine.  If you
don't already have one the right size, and would prefer a key to a
screwdriver, I'm sure you can get a generic blank key that will work for
cheap at a hardware store.

Back in the early 80’s I was asked by the local North Sails loft manager to 
help train a new customer’s foredeck crew.  The local low key race started from 
Port Madison, Bainbridge Island and ran south towards Blakely Rocks.  The 
boat’s new owner seemed very sure of his navigation when I asked if his upwind, 
out of the current course towards the Bainbridge Island shore included enough 
depth for his draft.  Shortly after this conversation I mentioned to the 
foredeck trainee “I’d sit down if I were you” as a subtle warning that an 
abrupt stop was imminent.  In the process of that particular and sudden 
grounding, the owner’s leg slide forward and broke the ignition key off in his 
brand new engine panel.

Being that: I was a volunteer advisor, not part of the regular crew; the boat 
was firmly aground in soft mud; the tide was falling and 6 hours from rising; 
and a local home owner rowed out and asked if he could assist, I quickly said 
“I would love a ride to shore”.

I quickly demonstrated how easy it was to hot wire his brand new boat with a 
key broken off in the ignition switch, grabbed my duffel bag and, with the 
owner’s reluctant permission abandoned ship. The row ashore was quite short but 
I was a long way from the town of Winslow where the WA State ferry system’s 
best would transport me back to Seattle where my car was parked.  Fortunately 
back in the 80’s, on Bainbridge Island seeing a hitchhiking sailor was not 
uncommon.  I got a quick lift easily making the next ferry sailing and was 
sitting at the Seattle Yacht Club bar with a fresh sea story in hand for my 
day’s work.

The need for a key outdoors amuses me. If they can break into your boat to get

I may have one floating around in the boat. I gave up – have taken the 
‘ignition’ switch out and replaced it with a push/pull switch at great cost 
savings after finding all the Yanmar keys are the same. I figure having a key 
outside is not important when the master switch is down below. Can’t run the
