Edd, My engine stop cable is on the port aft wall of the cockpit. This results in the pull being within reach on the helmsman. However the on/off key is forward of the wheel on the port wall under the hatch. Resulting in the helmsman having to REACH forward through the wheel to stop alarm.
The placement of the pull also results in the cable running through the aft port lazarette and getting entangled in the contents. This is particularly hazardous to the plastic fitting that goes through the wall. It extends about 4" into the compartment and could/has been easily broken. I have seen the pull placed on the aft facing wall (port or starboard) forward of the wheel. This makes shutting it off difficult from the helm but places it closer to the on/off switch and eliminates the cable interferences I experience. I considered changing to an electric kill by using a stop solenoid.
