Ok... so I'm an idiot! I've somehow managed to LOSE my boat keys. A locksmith wants $100 to come out and make me a new one, so my question is.. can I order a replacement directly from Bayliner? This is a 1988 Capri.<br /><br />Thanks<br /><br />Greg
Re: LOST KEYS !! Can I order replacements from Bayliner?
i work at ford dealership and if the customer has the registion papers or vin nubmer they can replace the keys i dont know if boat dealers do the same thing but it worth a shot
Re: LOST KEYS !! Can I order replacements from Bayliner?
If Bayliner can't come up with a key, maybe they can supply the cut code for a L'smith to use to make one. <br /><br />Failing that, many locks have a code imprinted on them that a smith can use to make a new key. Get a bid first.<br /><br />Failing that, take the switch out of the boat and take it to a smith (get a bid first).<br /><br />A new switch, complete with keys, may be less bux than new keys for the switch you have now.<br /><br />Good luck.<br />JB

Gcasper,<br />What type of controls is it rigged with? If it is merc you may be able to go to any boat dealer and pick up a key.<br /><br />I know all of our new boats at the dealership use a total of 4 different keys. At least all of the Merc rigged ones anyway.<br /><br /><br />Hope this helps,<br />Hitman
Re: LOST KEYS !! Can I order replacements from Bayliner?
Hitman... by controls, do you mean the throttle control? I know that is an aftermarket control, not a MERC or OMC. But why would that affect the ignition key? And is there a number somewhere on the ignition that I can use to get a duplicate key from a dealer?<br /><br />Thanks
Re: LOST KEYS !! Can I order replacements from Bayliner?
Casper,<br />There is not normally a code on the igintion. e-mail me at michael.hittle@langley.af.mil and I will explain. I would rather not post what I need to tell you here. Sorry guys but some of this I should not post.<br /><br />As for your question krosemond not really. As I said for the boats that we have at my dealership that are pre-rigged there are only four different keys. Other rigs MAY be different. I will leave it at that.<br /><br /><br />Hitman
Re: LOST KEYS !! Can I order replacements from Bayliner?
I have an old mercury from 1970. When I bought it used I got one key. The key looked like desk and cabinet keys from work. Anyway I found some that were no longer being used and they fit and worked fine. Maybe that is why mercs use just 4 different keys. I never thought the key was much of a theft deterent for boats anyway. Just thought it might be worth a look in an old key collection.<br />Bill
