I am about to borrow a car with a "clucker" key. I have never owned a car with a "clucker" key. I normally keep my key around my neck.
What the hell do you do with a cucking flucker key when you go sailing?
As it is not my car I am not interested in hiding the key on the car. What to do?
Anyone know of any smart storage devices? Hang around neck, tuck into harness, attach to rig???
If you cant think of a serious solution to my problem I will entertain creative "outside the square" type solutions. Coz I'm stumped.
Wear it around your neck as per usual. If water damage occurs deny taking it into the water.
My car came with clucker key and a spare without the clucker which I take windsurfing.
It's quite easy to get a dummy key cut. I leave my real key in the car and lock up from drivers door which centrally locks the lot. Your alarm should auto arm after 30 sec's (or so). No good for keyless entry though I guess.
AB...
Definitely get a blade cut, under 5 dollars, and leave the expensive key in the car. I learnt the hard way, $100 for a new key, since found out I got away cheaply newer cars models are very expensive.
Just make sure you hide the key in the car real good.
A clever crack head might break in and find your key?
I doubt that very much?
I use the dummy key around the neck (blank key cut without the transponder) and keep the real key locked in the car trick. Works for me.
I dont know much about cars. So it seems
surf lock key.
BIG combination pad lock , pop your key inside, atach to towing eye,lock & scramble the didgits then go out sailing with piece of mind.

BTW, i fell in the water with the clicky doover in my pocket recently and it seems to work fine, (commodore integrated key clicky cluck a click thing a me bob)

Save money forget the aqua pack, all i do it use two sealable sandwhich bags from wollies, key in the first, seal it then put it into the second bag and seal that one. Make sure you get all the air out of it tho : )
then i just put the bag under my wetsuit ( in a location which wont be damaged, or damage you when you stack).
Big Al has the answer, I have a RAV4 which has an electronic key, get a key cut, lock the electronic key in the car and take your door locking crap key with you in your boardies.
Ended up getting a Surflock.
Good thing is the key is accessible to others who know the combo. For example I went for a surf with my mrs the other week down at Torquay. Water was about -20 degrees, she got cold pretty quick and was able to get into the car for a cuppa while I stayed out.
Think I paid about $50 at the local surf shop. Pretty happy.
another term for dummy key, locksmiths are more familiar with this one is.
Surf-key
