Probably a good rule of thumb that I will follow too. The helm electronics are only powered when the FB start switches are selected so the keys appear to only enable the power.Not sure they matter other than the fact you can accidentally start from helm. Not likely but it could happen…heck I’ve accidentally laid on the horn. My rule is at anchor I leave the keys on in case I need to get out of dodge in a hurry. At the dock they are off.
It’s probably an anti theft thing as all the Batt switches can be accessed in the engine compartment
