    Brand New Boat Owner!

    If that's a mercury control it might be possible to get a key from a mercury dealer. The older controls only had about 10 different keys. If you can take the boat to a dealer they might be able to match it up.

    Seriously stuck gimbal bearing

    Unless the seal is damaged no need to change it. It only stops excess grease from flinging around. Some people don't even use the seal if they use the non greaseable bearings.
