Remove engine key before doing prop work

I remove the engine key/s (I own a cat) if I am going over the side to work in the water. Just in case someone has a brain snap and decides to start up the donks. Very important strategy if there are kids or drunks on board. I put the keys in the beer fridge to remind ME to have a cleansing ale when I return from underwater maintenance in exotic locations.

I DO trust the wife but if I know the keys are not inserted, I don't have nagging scarey thoughts about being made into chopped liver. I have enough to worry about with sharks and salt water crocodiles as it is.
