Got to bench test and install the warning horn today after work.
The old one was infact bad. Tested at both temp sensors after instalation and bench tested prior. New alarm works as it should.
Now to figure out the bilge and live well pumps...

That is what I am thinking as it works when you first turn the key to on and doesn't work from the sensor connection.
I'll find out when I get the other horn because there is no break in the sensors to the horn. So in my mind it has to be a faulty horn.
Jeff
Thank you @saltchuckmatt.
I wasn't sure if there was a separate circuit inside the horn or not because it works from one side but not the other.
The warning horn I posted is what I have. BRP part number 585994. I did order one last night.
It has two spade connectors on the back and the...
That is close.
It's the one attached, it had two spade connectors on the back. One is 12v positive and the other spade connector is where the brown wire from the temp sensors plug in. The pigtail is a ground.
When I ground the brown wire, I get no alarm.
But when I ground the pigtail, it...
So I finally got the weather to check the buzzer.
So the buzzer has two spade connectors, one for the positive and one that is from the temp and the VRO. It also has a ground pigtail.
So when I turn on the key, the buzzer sounds. Good 12v positive to the spade connector. When I disconnect the...
I do need to test the battery, I should have done that yesterday. I absolutly will test it. The wire that had power was the tan wire, positive lead from the volt meter to it black lead to ground where I was trying to ground the tan wire is showing around 10.4 volts.
No connection plugs between...
My apologies, it is a new to me boat and am just going through things and making sure everything works as it should. The boat and motor have been very well taken care of and appears that has been properly maintained. Though I am uncertain if the original owner was aware of testing the warning...
Understood, but. When testing volts by meter, I have power coming from the main harness at all check points at 10 + volts. Is that normal and if I'm getting power, would that mean that the wiring is intact?
I'm unsure and is why I am asking.
Thank you, Jeff
I'm grounding them to the block by placing a screwdriver in the female socket and touching a bolt on the head. Not the pigtail from the sensors, but the main harness wire at both sensors as well as the line running from the VRO.

I was attempting to test the warning buzzer for my 1995 E90TLEO Evinrude on a 1995 Crestliner Sportfish 1750.
The buzzer under the dash on the 170 sounds for a few seconds when I turn the ignition to on.
But I am getting no warning buzzer when I ground either temp sensor. I am getting voltage...
@racerone, my thoughts exactly. Also, I can not afford $120/HR. Well maybe but I'm not going to, I'll maintain this one and use it for as long as I can.
Jeff
@racerone, comp is 120 all four cylinders, spark is great, lower unit oil nice and clean, no water. Speed was 37 mph by GPS with 3 Adults on board during water test at 5500 rpm, around 31 mph at 5000 rpm. And I am a big guy, 250 pounds.
Jeff
I have been searching the web for a VRO rebuild kit for my newly acquired 1995 Evinrude 90 HP E90TLEO crossflow outboard.
I am seeing the kits on Amazon and eBay, are there any OEM kits available?
Are there any reliable kits on Amazon or eBay?
Nothing wrong with the one currently on the...
