I recently purchased a 2017 Yamaha golf cart, but only one key was available from the owner. I have researched everywhere, but cannot find a place to get duplicate keys. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Order Yamaha key blanks from Amazon and bring them, along with the working key, to ACE hardware and they will cut keys for you.

If it was me I get new uncommon keyed switch and just replace it. Takes less than 5 mins 10 if you slow and you don’t have same keys as majority of other Yamahas.

Might slow or denture thief when you out and about.

Home depot did mine.

I agree with changing the keyed switch, I bought a "universal" auto ignition switch for around $15 and installed in place of the Yamaha universal key switch. Took about 10 minutes. NOTE: Our golf cart had 2 wires to the switch, some carts have 4 wires, I have not done this on a 4 wire system, so I would need to research the use of the additional switch contacts.

get a non golf cart or uncommon switch. Its too easy for those universal golf cart keys to be used when you are at dinner some night.

we did our cart with an uncommon key

All of the carts that are sold by VGC have uncommon key switches. You can get a blank key from them. You can also just replace the entire switch, it's very easy to replace.

Coach....if I was out to dinner some night, I would take my car. Especially with all the golf carts being stolen. Problem solved!

Where are there a lot of golf carts being stolen? I thunk I've read about two this year. There may have been more than that stolen but I would think that if there were a lot it would habe made the news.

Willys replaced mine with a unique key - most of the older carts all work with the same key better to change

[RoadToad]

Villages Golf Carts in Spanish springs for blank, ACE next door to them to cut.

2 or 3 from parking lots with one of those having the keys in the ignition and one from a garage. Please enlighten us with some facts concerning this rash outbreak of stolen carts.

You can get a new on made at one of the box stores. I would suggest getting a completely new ignition with 2 sets of unique keys so the you golf cart is difficult to steal. About $30.00 if I remember correctly. Just make sure you give them the correct Year and model number for your cart.

Might as well install a Kill switch as well as changing out the ignition

[JMintzer]

And hide an Apple Air Tag in your cart...
