ZF Marine Remote Control missing part

[prinex]

EDIT I found out what this is. Is just a magnet that gets inserted into this slot, I tried using a random magnet and could get the station to work, bow/stern thruster, engines, the lot.

So now I need to find either a premade magnetic key (like a boat kill-switch cable) or just get a magnet that fits into the slot and wrap it in same gaffer tape (so it can be remove quickly).

ORIGINAL: We have on board a ZF Remote Control like the one in the pic - however: the "key" (the string with the key attached and some "on" switch) is missing, no idea where the previous owner put it.

Do anyone knows where I can buy it (beside ebay or the like ?)

Yes it is mathers/zf. It's a current product so must be available as a spare. It's function is a kill cord so that if you drop the remote it kills the engines or at least puts them into neutral.

Even more useful if you fall off the bathing platform with the engines astern……

So the part finally arrived ... a piece of string with a tiny magnet attached ... I think I broke the record price/perceived value, 140 UKP (without shipment) but wife was adamant we need the original part and my home made magnet + string solution (2 UKP) was "unsafe" so here we go
