You really need something which will be a much larger load. I have an old car headlamp bulb ( with only one filament now working) on a couple of leads but they are obsolete. A 21 watt indicator/ stop light/ rear fog light bulb would be the next best thing. They are still readily available.
It also makes a handy 12 volt "lead lamp"

I agree for serious stuff ... but even that 'screwdriver' sorts out quite a lot

€965 replacement cost! For a switch panel!!
I will have to think before I fling that amount of money at Yanmar. After all, it is just start, stop and revs I need having lost the engine hours value.
Ps; I should have put in a Beta.

I have a 2GM panel that works except for the gauge .... will I pay out for a panel - NO WAY !! I will remove panel and find way to replace just the non-working items with generic budget items ... I may even go the 3D printed panel route and fit own switches etc. using anything necessary from the old.

at that price I wouldn't even consider it!!
is there a PCB somewhere in there? Maybe take the switch panel off and see what's in there? on my old yanmar there was a v.simple pcb that did fusing and a couple of relays for fuel solenoid and something else. Had a good shower never worked again... did my own, but that's extreme.
Yours could be as simple as a burnt diode or transistor or fuse...

I will take it home and investigate. Engine shutoff is convenient, start could be just a wire to the solenoid, not sure about stop from button but certainly don't need a heater on the Med. I will make do for now.
Someone skilled could be making these and selling them at lower than Yanmar price and still make a good profit. Would not have to be more than a basic offering.
