Maybe I'm cynical but surely a '250 hour wonder' is capable of calling 'stop' when an engine goes pop.
I have an hour or two more than that and would not be too keen on keeping quiet if a skipper was about to make a decision which had life altering consequences! If he's going to kill me, I want him to be damned sure I'm not happy with the idea.
Still, in my company I can always take control (never needed to yet!!).
