Hello!
I am new to I boats and just got my first boat. There is a muted buzz coming from the control panel (1989 Evinrude 100 xp). When I try to go past idle and stays on continuously as I increase me speed, until I return to almost idle speed. Also, the boat seems sluggish to respond when I push throttle forward, it takes a few seconds to speed up, then I have to back it off. This delay has not been my experience in other boats I have driven. When running past neutral, or attempting to get any speed, this muted "buzz" comes from control panel, so I checked pee stream, and it's cool to touch. It was pointed to my attention the "Buzz" could be an alarm! The horn does not work when I push the button. The fuse is intact, and doesn't look blown. Could the horn not working also "mute" the alarm system?
Can anyone fill me in on the steps to check the Alarm system, horn, trouble shoot? I am afraid to take it out until I get the alarm or buzzing fixed, as I don't want to do damage. Any help is greatly appreciated!!! Thank you!!
