heat sensor and alarm

[MJS]

I need both the sensor and alarm for a 1990 force 120. I haven't had any luck searching the web. Any help? The buzzer is bad and wont sound. I tried to wire it directly to the battery and nothing happened. I put a test light between the wires that go to the buzzer and heated the sensor up with a heat gun. The light came on and will not go off. I think I screwed it up.

Ouch. That's an expensive screw up. Anyone have a better price? $100 for both. http://www.marineengine.com/parts/f...699&componentId=297&component=OVERHEAT+BUZZER

You need to let the sensor cool down, depending on how hot you made it , it may take awhile. If your sensor is ok, I don't see why you can't use a ordinary car horn from a junk yard. I'm sure it's much cheaper and both are weather proff. They both need a 12 volt circuit to operate. When the sensor is tripped it connects to ground, turning you horn on.
Another thought, this is the route I went, I just added a "block temp gauge" I know the temp of my motor at all times.

iBoats has a black face gauge for $32.52

Yes, the mounting braket attaches to block with one of the head bolts, is included. However you need to supply your own wire. I get all my wire from TinnedMarineWire.com a very well trusted site. 16gauge wire, any color, 50 feet for only $6.50 plus shipping. Here's the link.
