key issue

I did the same thing, forgot about key in pocket on jetski....! It never worked again. I know there are un-programmed keyes on Ebay cheap...Check with your local dealer and see if they will program it and switch-out the actual cut key from your other one.....

Good News: After my wd40 soaking, I gave the remote a bath in rubbing alcohol , then used a hairdryer. Final step, synchronize the remote. WORKS OK!! saved $180.00

yea immediately put wet electronics in rubbing alcohol, thats your best bet.
