(C)Choke/key/gauges are inside the cabin. Steering position is outside.

(A) For a properly tuned engine momentary full choke is necessary to start fully warmed up engine.
(B) How are you adjusting the choke? Mine is adjusted so when the button is pushed all the way down to open the choke it springs back up ~1/8" when pressure is taken off of it. If I don't get the slight spring up of the button I know something is wrong with the choke.
(C) Probably deigned by a naval architect that didn't like his\her job.
