When we turn off our Luggers we first turn off the ignition switch and then push the engine kill button. Maybe there is a few seconds between them.
Today, when the mechanics were on board finishing up the annual service and were running the engines, they shut them down by simultaneously turning the ignition off while pressing the engine kill button.
I asked the mechanic why he did that. He said that they felt that it was good practice to have them both killed at once rather than having the engines running while the ignition was off as they have found that sometimes by delaying the engine kill the engine will start back up again.
Has anyone else seen this? Thoughts?
