warning horn
Some outboards just had a "hot horn". That *could* be a hot horn.
It seems easy enough to trace the wire colors and see where they go. -W "tcoop" wrote in message . .. After looking a little closer, I think your right about it maybe being the actual boat horn. I read that the warning horn maybe under the dash on some boats and I was hoping that was it. I was told that going into some of the control boxes can be a tricky job due to all the wires. I really couldn't tell where the wires for that horn go, but i feel like it is indeed the boat horn. You said the alarm should work when the ignition is in the on position, prior to the cranking position. I don't quite understand what you are talking about. Wouldn't it sound off when the engine was started? Did i mention that I was new to boating and this is my first boat? So sorry for maybe not understanding everything that I should, but I will learn it...:-) Thanks for your time and your help. Tom "Tony Thomas" wrote in message news:47%mb.38895$e01.85121@attbi_s02... Looks to me like the horn for the boat itself (like a car horn). Not the alarm for the engine. What is it wired to. I would assume the horn switch/button. The warning alarm for the engine is usually a small black round device about the size of a 1/2 dollar. Some are wired under the dash and others are wired inside the control box. The alarm should operate when the key is turned to the ignition position but prior to cranking the engine. If it does not, have it checked or replaced. -- Tony my boats and autos - http://t.thomas.home.mchsi.com "tcoop" wrote in message . .. Can someone tell me if this is a warning horn, and if so, is there a way I can test it? http://coopscorner.com/takealook/warninghorn.htm This is on a Hydra pontoon boat, which they don't make any more. Thanks, Tom |
