I can stop my Yanmar diesel from the helm, but the ignition switch is down below at the nav station. Inevitabl6 what happens is that the engine is stopped and the ignition is forgotten about and left on for half an hour.
I recall when I was a kid that my dad used to go nuts if the ignition was left on because it would "burn out the coil". I guess that's irrelevant for a diesel and leaving it on won't hurt?
On another point - I'd like to get a tachometer at the helm (yes I'm an ex mobo'er!) is that difficult and how could it be acheived?
thanks in advance.
