I ordered a cabin key from my local SR dealer. Big mistake!
They charge $24 for the key!!!!
For you guys that need an extra key, I found blanks here.

Any key machine can cut them.

Any kind of pry tool will open that door in a heartbeat. Waste of time locking it, unless your trying to keep your 5 year old out.

We all know locks only keep honest people out.
Kind of a funny response with that nic.

If you need either door or ignition keys try bill@keys4urride.com He is a seller on eBay. Give him the key code and you get keys in the mail in 2-3 days. His ID on eBay is keys4urride. Last time I got cabin door keys (Mobella), they were $12 for a pair shipped to my door. Can't get any easier!

After we took possession of our boat, one of the first things we did was to replace the broken cabin door latch with this: http://www.fpmarine.com/Mobella-flu...ing-door-latch-p/mf-05-530-24proflushstar.htm

The latch uses a star key so it's very difficult to pick or break. We've had it about a year and a half and it's performed well.
