    lost optimax key

    Also posted this on low-emission outboard thread:

    I have a 2001 Sea Doo Utopia 185 with the 200 hp Merc Optimax engine. I've lost my key and lanyard. I don't believe it was a DESS key, just plain metal key with lanyard attached. No programming required. Called dealer and key doesn't seem to be available, although lanyard is. Any ideas how can I get another key?

    Assuming its a mercury key switch there should be a number on the cylinder. Also if you have a friendly dealer you could bring the boat to them and ask to use their master key set to find your key and than order another one or two

    Thanks. I believe it's a Merc switch because it's described in the "Mercury Jet Drives" operator's manual that came with the boat. I had the cylinder out, but didn't notice a number, although wasn't looking for it. I'll check again. Good to know that a dealer can find the key with a master key set.
