Keypad is becoming less relable, has anyone been able to bypass?

[ers906]

I have had to be towed in twice after my key pad has stopped working. It has full power but when I type in the ingnition code there is no engine start up. I tested the starter relay and starter motor and they were both functional. I have ordered the new keypad, but was wondering if anyone had set up a secondary ignition to start the boat during emergency situation like these? Any suggestions would be appreciated

I have had the same problem somewhat recently. Unfortunately, I was told the keypad was new and it still does it. I have gone a few times without issue, but it is annoying to say the least.

There is a complete thread available on this.

On my last two boats I have not typed in the code when shutting the boat down so I could just hit the start button to start the boat. If security is an issue you could maybe put a switch on the battery.

interesting ideas here, as airtool pointed out ...
