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

Re: Stus-List Yanmar Key source
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.

> … when a key broke off inside on the previous Enterprise. >The need for a key outdoors amuses me. If they can break into your boat to get >the power on, they certainly can get to the back of the panel and connect the >two wires. 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.
