dual helm electrics

[<152587>]

Not being familiar with flybridge installations could you enlighten me on the following.

1 Presumably the donks can be started and shut down from either station.

2 If the key switch is activated from say the inside helm, does that activate the flybridge oil pressure and water temp gauges etc.

On mine (and i believe most) the keys are on the lower helm, with each helm having their own start and stop buttons.

Once the keys are on the gauges will be alive - assuming there is anything to show ( i.e. Oil pressure will be nil if not running).

This is my view is lazy design as if you are up top you have to go down below to turn it on!
