Question about Supra boat key

[larry_arizona]

Boat Tax. lol. If spending $80 makes your wife feel better about the boat, it will be the best $80 you ever spent.

No doubt, but holy Supra tax.

@SONIC, add boat key surrounds to your billet parts to make list.

I wish Supra would get away from the key altogether!! My other buddies all have Malibus or Nautiques are always giving me sh_t for having to put a key in or getting down to the boat slip and forgetting the key.

I agree, it’s kinda strange to have a key to turn AND then a start button.

Not sure how Nautique or MaliBU do theirs, a digital code would suck too.

I would prefer the automotive style where you just have the key fob on you or in the boat and then hit the start button.

I plan to leave key in ignition full time.

New Supra's are push button start.

You have to turn the key clockwise then push the button to start the new ones.

Nautiques use a code that you set, I believe Malibus are the same thing.

I will be honest that I don’t know how the new Supras push buttons behave, but hopefully......

1)Leave key in the run position full time.

2)Hop in boat, turn battery switch on. Newer Supras you can reach battery switch from captains seat.
3) push button start.

That is correct. I never touch the key on my boat, just push button and battery switch. I don't see the big advantage of a code. I guess I've never checked if the vision system has a disabling code that one can activate. My 2000 Polaris jet ski had one.

[larry_arizona]

The code would annoy me far worse than a key.

Love that Supra moved the battery switch for such easy access.

Just like the Ford keypads on the door, I have never used mine. Key fob is preferred and kings entry(key fob on you) is superior yet.

Not sure on the 20-21 models, but there is something with the 19s where you have to turn the key off to get the seat to move down/forward automatically when putting the tower down, or something along those lines, this obviously has to be done before killing the power at the battery switch. The tower hitting the seat might not be an issue with the new driver's seat but not sure.
