Default 882 video

I was concerned to see you turn off the "ignition" switch before killing the engine. I have several diesels (882 , Yanmar Ysb12, Yanmar Ysm12) and have always been told that if you kill the electrics before killing the engine that the alternator is spinning against a zero electical load and that this will result in damage to the alternator. In view of the cost of a rebuilt alternator, you might want to recosider your shutdown procedure.
