Hello everyone I am a new member and recently purchased a 420 AC. I have a gas Westerbeke generator and I have a few questions about it. The PO told me he started the gen from the panel on the generator and stopped it that way. My salon remote panel has a single switch for the generator. The rocker seems to be a single position switch. I read about pushing the top part of the switch to start the fuel pump and the light on the switch flashes slowly for about 10 - 15 seconds then flashes rapidly. At this point I press and hold the top half of the switch until the gen starts. At this point the generator runs but I have no idea how to turn it off from the salon panel since there is no "down" position for the switch. The only way I can stop the gen is to go into the ER and hold down the stop switch. On my previous boat (not Searay and Kohler gen) my salon switch was 3 position. The middle being the default, top being the Start and the bottom being Stop. What am I missing here?
