Quicksilver 2000 and 3000 are supposed to beep once at turn on to indicate the system is operational. The OT sense wire in the engine is tan or tan with a light blue stripe. Find one and follow it to the bayonet connection between it and the connector to the remote control. Carefully pull it apart and with a wire connected to the battery - or engine block...unpainted area, touch the inside of the connector grounding the wire. The horn should sound. If not you have a wiring problem. I forget which but the horn may be inside the control or externally tie wrapped to the harness at the location of the control.
