When adding a switch to a starting circuit, give thought to access during a runaway starter-induced fire. I've learned of several instances of a fried solenoid/relay engaging the starter autonomously and causing a fire. The only way to stop it is to remove electrical power from the start circuit. That could be hard to do if you need to enter a burning ER to do it.
You can't always do it easily by going forward or aft of the batteries, but sometimes running the cable up to a cabinet in the saloon or galley will work.
