89 Formula 242 LS Door below throttle
 
I just bought a 242 and took it to get serviced. Motor and drive check out great, but they notice the trim tabs weren't working. If they jump them they will work. They think they can fix it if they can get into the door below the throttle, but it's locked????? Does this door use a different key than the ignition key? Or is there a trick to it? I'm 3hrs away from the marine.

Help!

their seperate key's, look on the lock and get the lock # and call formula to see if a key is available..

It is an "alarm type key" like you would see on an old garage or house alarm.

Finally!!! I found one.. This worked out great. I called Quality RV in Camdenton this morning and they had one on the shelf $5.00. Formula wanted $9.00ea. They even delivered it to Performance Marine for me this morning for $5bucks! Gotta love it!


Thanks everyone!

The Compression Latch Key is Southco Part #ET-5-15. Just in case any one needs it.
