broken key

My ignition switch key broke and I had already made replacements for the key but the replacements don't work. I'm thinking I need to replace the switch now. Any thoughts? My brother is coming this weekend and wants to sail. I am totally frustrated.

Thanks.

disaster averted

Hey Jeffrey, where are you sailing. I was out on Brookville Lake in Indiana that day and it was my first solo and first day with good wind. Had a nice sail.

No sailing

That's a good idea. One of those key containers with a combination lock like contractors use would be good.
