J/30 Class Association Forums J/30 Forum The Boat, Sails and Equipment ignition key fitting for yanmar 2GM

The front piece came off. I have one ball bearing left. How many are there? Does anyone have a replacement they are not using? I have a picture but do not know how to add it to the forum. Thanks

John - here is a link on how to attach a picture if you have the file on your computer. If the image is hosted on another site (e.g. Photobucket, Snapfish, Picassa, etc.) you can post the link to the photo. Mouse over the 4th icon from the left just above the area where you are typing your message and you'll see "Enter an image" appear. Click on that icon and select any of the options, then paste the link to the picture.

If it's still a problem, just email me the picture and I'll post it.

I had a similar problem. I want to say that there were 6 balls in there, but I could only find 4 or 5 after the thing blew up on me (I knew I was missing some, but couldnt tell how many.

I was able to get it to sort-of work, and after a while I found the exact part on ebay for like $10. I just checked and there are none on there now, but if I recall the whole assembly was not terribly expensive at Torreson marine.
