Yesterday, it was pretty sporty on the lake with winds in the upper teens, my son was rushing from the deck to the cockpit and kicked the engine start key / broke it as he stepped over to come and take the wheel for a while.. I could not find my spare key so I had to stick the broken half back into the slot to get the engine re-started.
Back at the marina in the evening, I tried to remove the broken piece by prying / pulling it out with a variety of small screwdrivers, drill bits. and other implements nothing was working and it was getting late so I decided to take the switch off to bring home and figure it out later. That's when I found out that I was very thankful for thoughtful Yanmar engineers: There is a slot in the barrel directly over the key's teeth. All you need to do is stick a small screwdriver in the slot and push the offending broken piece out.. Brillant! Outside of that it was a phenomenal day on the lake. Probably the best sail this year so far.. -Francois Rivard 1990 34+ "Take Five" Lake Lanier, Georgia
