One More.. I also kicked / bent / broke the key in the ignition. I took the barrel apart and pushed the broken piece out then took the pieces to a local old school locksmith shop. They found a key that matched it gave it to me free of charge, (A golf cart key I believe) and that was that.

Agreed, I experienced it 1st hand a few months after I had bought the boat a few years back.. I had a brain fart and turned the key to "off" while the engine was running. The diodes instantly fried, the alternator was toast / the charging warning was light on. Then came the alternator saga:

One item which seems not to be mentioned in this thread is how you have your genoas rigged. Do you have inboard genoa tracks, because the 30 won’t point if you are still running the sheets to blocks on the rail. We have inboard tracks and seem to point well. Gary From: CnC-List

If my memory is correct Mike, it is a bad idea to turn off the 'power' while the engine is running.might damage the diodes in the alternator. I stand to be corrected? Rob Abbott AZURA C 32- 84 Halifax, N.S. On 2016-07-17 8:39 PM, mike amirault via CnC-List wrote: Didn’t I read somewhere

I noticed Touche's stuffing box was dripping when the engine wasn't running. Mentioned I needed to tighten it to the Admiral. She immediately suggested I open the companionway stairs and set up our two clip on Caframo fans to blow cool air from the air conditioned cabin into the engine

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. Gary 30-1 From: CnC-List

Hey John Try At-Tec hydraulics on Plank road in Sarnia, and there are some more hydraulic shops around. Every o-ring imaginable is available locally and I can't imagine it would be more than $10 or$15 for the parts to rebuild it plus an hour or so of their time.
