Being a natural jackass, I found having a pre-departure checklist to be invaluable. One item of several is checking all the strainers and attendant seacocks. Checking water flow after start is another. No need to do anything with the keys or tags etc, though a tag like shown (I just used a post it note) may be handy if there was something unusual going on.

You need to find out where your exhaust water goes ASAP!! And how every other vital fluid and electrical current flows too!
