My keys say Ilco HD56" on the key, but I've tried every locksmith in town, West Marine, and searched online and cannot find a source to purchase aftermarket key blanks that will work... Any suggestions?

Given the key number, your Yamaha dealer can supply you with a new key.

I don't have a local yamaha dealer (45 minutes away) so I was hoping to just order some spares online. I see that SIM has them for $12, but I really don't care if they are genuine Yamaha - my Ilco seems to work just fine...

Unfortunately the boat is across town in storage right now so I can't take a picture, but it says "Yamaha" on it. It is a black rectangular panel with a three-position switch and "kill switch" below it.

Also, I found my other key, which is a Yamaha blank - #461. Sounds like I'll just need to order them online from a Yamaha parts supplier like SIM Yamaha.

461 is a valid key number.
no need for a blank, if key #461 works all key #461 will work.
