A followup on Josh’s post:

1. A couple of times I have accidentally turned the key switch off while the 
engine was running and my brain was elsewhere.  I immediately turned it back on 
again.  I have noticed any problems resulting from this, but I don’t know what 
the symptoms would be if I had damaged something.

2.  In addition to the rotary 1, 2, All rotary, I also have a on/off toggle 
switch next to the rotary that must be also turned on.  I don’t know what is 
wired to it, so does anyone know what is likely to be the purpose of that 
switch?  My previous boat only had the rotary.  Thanks- Dave
