Correct Carter - they did my boards and screens at the same time.I think they do our MMDS Boards as well and install a rechargeable battery.
I recall he did yours for a fairly reasonable price - now its flat rate at $2200 for each display.Correct Carter - they did my boards and screens at the same time.
Mike Smith is the owner and very helpful guiding you through the removal and how to get the work done. 754-251-0123
Yes, apparently he has now developed market pricing. I think that I would still go this route versus a new or used unit.I recall he did yours for a fairly reasonable price - now its flat rate at $2200 for each display.
the entire lock set is not nearly that costly - i spoke with Taylor Made a few years ago and they wanted $150.00 for one key blank for the lock - i found the identical blank key for $8.00 at at locksmith shopChris-
Mine has done that “spinning” before, but usually working the key up and down will allow it to grab.
We’ve been at the Yacht Club now for three years and it’s fairly secure, and since we leave the boat in the water over the winter, I leave the door unlocked in case they have to get in and start the generator in a freeze/shore power loss situation
A couple of years ago, when I checked with Taylormade, they wanted $3600 for the lock set and didn’t have any available anyway. When Taylormade told me $3600 – I told him I don’t need the whole door just the lock set! LOL!
I’m tied up this morning, but I’ll look in my records and see if my part number that I had for the Lock said is the same as yours.
I would think you could just remove the whole thing, and take it to locksmith and have him rebuild it – I would at least hope that!

Chris - did you use the Taylormade P/N when dealing with Schwepper?Yes, we've tracked down the U.S. distributor for Schwepper -- The Brass Works, Inc -- and they've been very responsive. The lock cylinder can sometimes (often?) be repaired, for example, and they do that kind of work... or they can sell individual replacement parts.
I haven't followed up with them to get ours squared away -- because we're traveling -- but once we get home I'll be getting on with that.
A tidbit they've passed on: non-Schwepper blanks can sometimes cause damage to the cylinder. Something to do with the different shape to the leading edge(s) of the blank.

Chris - did you use the Taylormade P/N when dealing with Schwepper?
Chris - what Schweppes P/N best fits our lock?Sorta. When you go on The Brass Works Inc site, they have the Schwepper catalog... and looking through the various segments helped me sorta home in on the probable mortise latch (for cylinder) we have, and the probable locking cylinder.
The last bit comes down to actual measurements, and with the parts in place measurements aren't perfect. I reckon to take the cylinder out to do proper measurements before ordering anything. Or once I get the measurements, they may advise repair would be sufficient. A couple weeks before we're home and I have time to mess with it...

Changing the display battery easy? The manual is on the boat so I assume it’s in there on how to change the battery. I appreciate the help!MAN says check the oil 20 mins after shutdown.
Your battery is dead in that display. I’m not near the boat, and I can’t recall how to change it back, but it is simple. But until you get the display’s battery changed, you will have to do it each startup.
Susan suggested that change the other one and run the both in metric - good idea!
Sea-Tronics will rehab your display for $2200.
Ken is correct.Changing the display battery easy? The manual is on the boat so I assume it’s in there on how to change the battery. I appreciate the help!
Great information, thank you. Sea Tronics the only option?Ken is correct.
And if you take the display out to be repaired, DO NOT disconnect the power supply cable from the display - about 3 feet up the power supply cable you’ll find two spade connectors - disconnect there. Where the power supply cable enters the display it soldered inside there to the board. If you unscrew the bolt that’s around the power cable on the display, thinking you can remove it, you will do damage.
Seems like it is. Someone posted a few months ago on this thread that they used somebody else and they weren’t happy at all.Great information, thank you. Sea Tronics the only option?

Sea-Tronics used to do “à la cart“ service - if you just wanted your battery replaced, they would do that. Now they’ve gone to complete refurbishment. A year after my battery went out, both the LCD displays failed and got very foggy. so they’re going to fix everything for $2200 each.
