⚠️ Common Signs of Failure

• The key is bent, cracked or excessively worn
• The key no longer operates the starter switch smoothly
• The switch binds or requires movement of the key to maintain contact
• The key can be removed in an incorrect switch position
• Replacement is required after loss or damage to the original key

🛠️ Service Notes

• Keep at least one spare key aboard and another ashore; a lost key with no spare stops the boat
• Check the key turns smoothly through every position and cannot be withdrawn other than where it should be
• Rinse salt off and keep the barrel clean with a light dry lubricant rather than oil or grease, which holds grit in the lock
• Do not hang a heavy fob or lanyard on it — side load wears a switch barrel out and is a common cause of switch failure
• Order replacements against the key or switch number for your engine, as patterns differ between control and switch types
