A key would be a mercury 525 :-)
Sorry couldn't resist. Pictures of what your looking to fit the key in?

Hey, welcome to the Cobalt Chat forum Cljbeck. So glad you found us!!!
Any pictures of your beauty would sure be welcome. Beautiful model Cobalt. Hope you stay awhile.


....and like BBp said, yes...pictures of your gas fill cap will help.

Or

Just order the universal key off Amazon or Ebay for under $10

Like this you will see the key.

Tip. once loosened you can tighten them by hand with your fingers spread ( oring seal keeps them from backing off and vented system doesn't require it super tight)
I used my key once.

Welcome and post up some pics.. or it didn't.....

I also have never needed a key. Push down and a little turn them unscrew it. We have had one member on here where his was frozen and I think had to drill it out to replace the whole unit.

Depending on the year of his 190 it's not the nice push and turn cap...my old 190 didn't have that and you needed the key for an easy open...or at least something with a straight edge to get it moving! But you all have pointed him in the right direction so he's good to go!!!

Thanks everyone. It's a 1997. I'm away from the boat until the weekend and was hoping to pick one up before then. I'll check out the universal ones. Great idea!
