I replaced the Yanmar ignition switch on Penniless for that reason - I had bent
two keys because of where the panel is located - damn near on the cockpit floor
next to where your feet need to be. Then I bought a new ignition switch and key
- and discovered that the keys are all the same! The old key (1980?) worked on
the 2000 switch! So, the next time I stepped on the key and broke the switch, I
replaced it with a simple push-pull switch from West at about 1/4 the cost. I
figure if someone wants the boat bad enough, they will pull or break the panel
and still won't have the main power on, so they would have to break into the
boat to turn it on - there are a lot of other more glamorous boats in the boat
yard.... by the way, if you turn off the ignition switch while the Yanmar is
running, the tach stops, but the engine keeps running, the switch is only for
the starter.

The Yanmar panel on Alera is on the starboard side on the front panel. I can
bend down and see he gauges. The only issue I have had is inadvertently
stepping on the ignition key and bending the crap out of it from time to time.
I'll probably screw a little guard over it eventually, so I don;t end up
breaking the damned this off, which could be a real PITA!
My fuel gauge is a little useless, but still better than what I had on our
old 35 MK 1, which didn;t work at all. Alera's shows empty when she is still
1/2 full...at least that's what I think. It's showing empty right now and I'm
pretty sure she has at least 8 gal. left. But I'll carry down a with a few
gallons, just to make sure I don;t run out on my way to my next fill up.
This is my first diesel...is gas station diesel different from marine, like
is it with gas?
BTW...nice ass...

They work, but they're worn and kinda ugly. The panel is fine. I just don't
like the location -- not that I'm sure where I would move it to.
All the best,
