I hope to see some pics from Belmont-a-palooza, going on today, tonight, and tomorrow. I have to work (heavy sigh).

I asked about a toggle and was told that would be a dumb idea, since someone could bump it and end up burning it out or some such.
As far as it being the right part, I will know this weekend when I install it! I would hope so, as they know me and know my boat.
Thanks folks. Lots of good ideas for key extraction, but I think I will opt for ignition replacement. The boat is now 13 yrs old, and I kinda like the idea of a switch or even push button start.
Greetings!
I am a 1985 grad of Hanford HS, currently living in the 'burbs of Washingon DC, and we bought our first boat, a SeaRay 225 Weekender (2003) last Aug. Just joined the forum.
Bought a 2003 Weekender 225 middle of last August, stored it in October. Back out mid May this year. Had 310hrs on it when we bought it, now @ 360. We did our first long trip and overnight on the boat Memorial Weekend, with a trip to Tall Timbers Marina, MD, about 50 miles each way.
went out...
Key broke in the ignition, had a friend who didn't always have a security clearance, hot wire it so we could get home.
Basic locksmith, or just replace the ignition?
