Seem to have misplaced the ignition keys for the boat. Any quick/easy way to get a replacement other than calling a locksmith ...?

DUH....you have a Formula. Contact them with your HID number. They will have the info and send you another set.

Of course they will, but not in time to go boating this sunday ...

Go to a NAPA store or West Marine,spend $18 on a 3 wire switch,swap it out,takes 5 minutes. Or go to Radio Shack,buy 3 small alligator clips (roach clips ) a few inches of wire,and make a hot wire jumper,it's easy

you'd be surprised how many of them have the same key. I had one of the batboats here and i lost the keys so i figured no biggie I'd just throw a new key switch in it that i got from West Marine. Well on this particular boat the back of the dash was not easy to get at so i struggled with it for an hour or so. Just for the hell of it i thought i would try the key from the new ign. in the old switch that i had out and in my hand. . . it frikn worked . . . . D'oh!

You will almost never find a match for a Formula switch,there are literally 100's of key #'s. Buy a new switch if you need to run this weekend.

Its three wires. Buy a new switch, or replace with a on-off, and momentary on switch temporarily.

Boats are the easiest things in the world to hot wire.

I would order the right key, and hot wire it for the weekend. Couldn't be easier. There is absolutely no ignition security, I don't even know why we bother with keys. They only stop the honest people.
