I just read a post mentioning losing or misplacing one's ignition key and started
to wonder:
Why have an ignition key at all?
Especially in the cockpit -- if it is mounted on a forward-facing bulkhead then a
crewperson cannot sit back without getting jabbed, there is the chance of
water getting into it, etc.
I guess I could see having one installed down below where the key is more or less
left in place.
Can you tell my boat came with a starter button and no key? If I don't want
someone starting the motor when I'm away from the boat I'll switch the battery off
before locking the hatches.
