I replaced the key with a pull switch. All Yanmar keys are the same and the cylinders are expensive so I eliminated the problem. If I happen to kick the switch in while the engine is running, it will continue, but the tach will stop working. Big deal.

The 33-2 has a standard Yanmar control panel, located just above ankle height in the cockpit. The bent-when-I got-it key fits loosely in the worn cylinder located in the bottom right corner of the panel. so, it is quite kick able, (the bend) and the floaty keychain or lanyard is potentially underfoot. In the off position, the key can fall out. I had the panel assembly apart, basically cleaning and bulletproofing the connections and repairing an intermittent ground and some stripped mounting holes, and noticed the cylinder is, unsurprisingly, a simple single-pole switch. Has anyone relocated the key to a more secure location below, and installed in its place in the panel a second in-series switch? Can anyone see a reason why one would not do this?
