Has anyone else seen this? <rubber around keys deteriorating>

Usually rubber breakdown like that is accelerated by an oil. Yuck...what a mess!

I would suspect sunscreen.

We don’t use spray on on the boat. Not sure how any oil would have contacted

Here is what mine looks like. That LED is is from the circuit I hooked up to detect if my ladder is down.View attachment 184800

Ok I just removed mine. Tired of that tar getting on everything. Nice mod

Thanks. Here is the information on how to do the mod.

I just followed the footsteps of other great jetboaters.

Boats.net been doing the same since May 1st. You'll eventually get to "No ETA."

Sorry for the bit of a hijack...

Just got a new email from Partzilla and thought, 'oh, here it comes... no ETA.' Opened it and the ETA is now Sept 1. And yes I double checked: 2022.

Container must have come in...

Never use vaseline on your rubbers.

Mine are degrading too. I have a set of ignition switches on order from Boats.net. Backordered...No Current ETA.

I can make you a new one in about a weeks time, $100 parts labor and shipping

Mine are in very good condition still, but I also added rubber boots to my keys, which covers that up while in use (and reduces jingling when they are clipped to my boat bag). Nice little thing to have for $5/key.
