Where can one find ignition key blanks for Yamaha outboards?

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.
