Default Stuck cabin door.....

I have a 06 Baja OL 35 that I keep in the marina. Since I want to keep people from tampering with the boat, I lock the glovebox and cabin everytime I leave. Well, my trip to the lake yesterday revealed that the lock now freely spins with the key in it, but it is locked. Any ideas how to get into the boat or how to remove the lock without damaging the boat.

Unfortunately, I think a drill might be in your hands soon. however, I'm not familiar with a 35' Outlaw

Not that this helps your current situation but.............I used to leave my boat where people "could" get into it if they really wanted. I found it cost me more to fix what they broke when getting into the boat than it cost for the items they stole. Finally decided to just leave it unlocked and surprisingly nothing was ever stolen again after that.

I know, It seems a drill and an unlocked boat might be in my future.

Never locked a cabin, glove box and always leave the keys in ignition. Mostly cause when I drink I tend to forget chit and can never remember where I put keys etc. Amazing how creative you can get when liquored up when it comes to hiding stuff.

Sorry this was no help but thought I would share. Hah....
