Help!!! Forgot keys and on vacation :(

[McMark]

Long story short. Just pulled in from a 930 mile drive and just realized the keys are at home. Any suggestions? 2015 AR240. [USERGROUP=9]@HELP[/USERGROUP]

If you have the manual there might be a key code you can go to any yamaha dealer and have a set made, I know that doesn't help for today being Sunday, I'm sure someone else will have a better idea.

There's good news & bad news. The good news is that these keys are fairly generic. The bad news is that there are many different key 'numbers'. I think every dealership sells most of the keys but you'll have to know what key number you have. Maybe the dealer can tell what key number you have. Might be hard to get one today but they should be able to help tomorrow

 

[McMark]

I just went out and pulled an ignition and got the code from that. I guess key hunting tomorrow.

I can also unplug the cylinder and take it with me to make sure it works. Disaster averted I think.

Are both ignitions keyed the same? That would be a bummer if they were different and you had to repeat the process.

They are the same. I just stopped at the marina behind my house (he rents waverunners and Yamaha jet boats) and the owner told me to go to marine specialties in new Smyrna in the morning. He said they'll have the key or get one overnight.

Any chance someone has access to them at your home and can fedex overnight them? Not cheap but gets you the keys quick.

That's my next option.

@Mainah, have your looked into this circuit enough to know which wires to connect and which wire to temporarily short to start the engine?

MacGyver in da house personally I would have done the Fedex thing right away

If it were my 230 I would simply bypass the key switches. My guess is that the same can be done on the current 240.

Good locksmiths can make you the keys. Drive it by one after locating a decent locksmith. They can do it for cars with chips in the keys they can do it for these boats. I'm 99.9% sure this can happen.

Just notice you were in NSB. My code is 856 on my key. If by chance yours is the same I can run my to you in the morning.
Don't forget to stop by Breakers for a burger.

 

[McMark]

Thanks @Mjones That's super nice of you. My code is 4303.

 

[subysti]

Just in case you want to just short wires as a last resort

 

[Noko]

You can "hot Wire" the switches. There are two wires that complete the ignition circuit and one that makes the starter turn. And the previous wiring diagram shows that.

I hope there are no thieves scanning this site .

Good luck in getting access to keys that work.

 

[Mjones]

Sorry - wrong code. BMC Boats in Longwood is open today at 830 and then can get you a key. Only Yamaha Boat Dealer around. Good luck.
