How to shut engines off from flybridge helm?

Re: How to shut engines off from flybridge helm?

Found a solution today. I took both ignition key switches apart to see what fed power from the lower helm to flybridge. Ended up removing a yellow line that linked the two ignition tumblers and powered the flybridge ignition. Wired always on 12v to the hot side of the flybridge ignition and now it isolated from the lower helm ignition.

The only thing with this set up is both can start and stop but one has to be off to shut the engines off from the other.

thanks for everyones help!

Yup- that's exactly how my keyswitches operate, too.
Good detective work!
Just remember- if you switch helms, at some point you've gotta go back and turn off the other helm switches in order to shut down.
