This happened to me last month. I have a 79' tradewind.
You can get a key at Out of Doors Mart, www.odmrv.com
Type in the work "key" in the search window in the parts section and it comes right up. It's part number WF-01. It even has photos of the inlet tanks/covers it will fit. Yours is on there. New key is $6.95
