warning horn

[ferdly1]

put a new water pump in and decided to test warning horn. Grounded wire going to thermostat switch and got a high pitched squeal. Not knowing if thats correct or not. Shouldnt it be a loud buzzing noise or is the squeal correct?
1997 40hp elpt Force the remote control is a Commander 2000

IF??? it's making any kind of noise??? that shows the system's working.
The horn/buzzer is small and very hard to hear.
On my boat I removed the buzzer and replaced with a motorcycle horn.
If you can't hear that?? then get hearing aids.
You can use car horns too.

Just make sure the horn's wired right.

Was going WOT one time years ago......suddenly my engine started making bad sounds and stopped......only then could I hear the warning buzzer under the console.....way too late. Have installed a car type horn and a warning light....and regular impeller changes since.....

Loud warning horn and flashing light on the console!
Perhaps a 12 volt strobe type light.

Any flashing light mounted somewhere in line of sight.
Diesel horn should be loud enough.
