New Member Introduction

[dkircher]

Hi all, My wife, Denise, and I are excited about our 1998 Albin 28 TE which we purchased earlier this month. Our maiden voyage was moving the boat from Anacortes, WA to its new homeport in Eagle Harbor on Bainbridge Island, WA.

One of our minor challenges was obtaining a spare key to the bulkhead door lock. Thanks to hints on the forum, we located the key through Southco Marine in Florida. They referred us to their distributor:

RTI Marine Supply
New Smryna Beach, FL
Phone: 386-957-4969
Fax: 386-957-4967
sales @ rtimarinesupply.com

So if other owners are looking for that extra key, here's the source.

Just an update to this post, RTI no longer exists. I contacted Southco Marine and they provided me with the distributor for bulkhead door key. The key number is #703 and is $35.00/each. Info is below:
