You are exactly right about leaving the helm for this exercise. I was single handed for a good portion of my 2018 season and got caught more than once not starting the genset in time. It created unnecessary excitement. Now, when going
into a new harbor, I begin the process before getting to the first marker to allow enough time. It is much easier with crew on board as that is a top training activity, and they are responsible for setting it up.
