Say no more! (except for : Check with the BBB site before dealing with an online retailer)

It's not a consolation to see that so many others had the same problem!!
Those people are just crooks....

Alecadi,

Any Yanmar dealer can get you a key. Just tell them the number on the key you have.

I never could find any local locksmith that was able to copy my Yanmar key. However, my local Yanmar dealer sold me a few for $1.75 a piece and I got delivery the next day.

Re: Don't buy at ShipStore.com !!

Shipstore aside, I was told this forum was specifically not for these types of gripes. I had a MAJOR issue with a boatyard a few years back and they practically ransomed my boat and told me the rural NC sheriff would do nothing for me. I posted all this in great detail to warn others and the "moderator" removed the entire post.

Still unhappy about the whole thing.

Jeff
