Yamaha Key ideas

[fedup]

I went to the local yami dealer and they want $24 for one. I just can't justify paying that for a piece of plastic so I use an aligator clip. (If I'm really in a bind a couple of twist ties)

So what do people generally use when youi dont have a lanyard/key?

Zip-tie and turn down the idle.

Yup.

But if you end up wanting a lanyard......this'll save you a few bucks.

Well, actually after shipping probably not much, but hey.

Greater Yamaha sells the red wrist styles for around $15 each.

Call John and see what kind of a deal he can give you, otherwise it might be close to the dealers $24 after shipping.

That doesn't do much when your throtle spring breaks and your ski becomes a torpedo.

Most Walmarts sell a universal lanyard set for under $15.

Acadamy does too.

yea, that Walmart kit has a lanyard key for just about anything. And it's cheap.(inexpensive)

Wal Mart for me, the clips fits much tighter than an OEM one too so you never accidentally pull it off and kill your motor. Hell it rarely comes off even when I bail.

dosnt do much when your sitting in the impact zone fumbling with a lanyard while taking waves on the head....hit the button and go for me...

I have also used the ones from walmart and academy. They cost $9.95 here in Texas. I just cut off they keys I don't use... Oh yeah, Velcro wristband and they come with a whistle attached to them.

24$ is the least of your problems. Wait till you try replacing a real part.

In theory sounds good, but you don't know when the spring will break. Mike Serlin's broke when landing from a roll. As soon as he hit ski went WFO out of his hands. W/o a lanyard it would have been out to sea untill it seized.

No return spring? Are you high?

Don't crash in the impact zone, rookie move. :hitwithrock: :Banane26:

i guess when you only jump out the back of the wave and never hit a lip you dont have to worry about that.. :wave:

He was referring to the lanyard switcc, not the throttle lever.
