Every time I turn the ignition to start the engine there is a loud alarm similar to that of a car but 100 times louder. Is there a way I can muffle that a bit. It's really giving me an ear ache. If so where can I find the mini horn for that. Thanks in advance. |

What I did, and you may do at your own risk, was to place a piece of duct tape over the hole on the 'buzzer'. The buzzer itself is located under the helm, and looks like a roughly 1.5" in diameter disk with a hole in the center. I was going to post a pic, but then realized it'd be easier for you to find it by sticking your head under then helm while turning the ignition key.

you can just unplug it, but you'll miss it when it's gone. |

the problem with disconnecting it is it may also be used to let you know when you are having an engine issue. I know on my old boat it was connected to the temp and oil gauges and would sound if they got too high. |

Also, I know its annoyingly loud, but its a sound that most boaters recognize. I know when I am tied up with people and hear that sound, its a warning that an engine is about to start. As a result, many boaters look around to make sure nobody is in the water near the boat about to start....could be a life saver and you may not even realize it. |

Me, my slightly deaf self, and I still hear it plenty loud after putting duct tape over the hole, even with the stereo on. It's just much more tolerable at start-up. |

Well I went ahead and muffled it a bit and I like much more than I did a day ago. If I could only just reposition the depth gauge to a more visible location might be all set. |

With that said I still wouldn't mind it muffled a bit or programed with a loud sexy female voice that says "caution the engine is about to start" or whenever the alarm sounds for engine trouble a loud male voice starts cussing and screaming saying "you idiot- you are about to screw up your engine" |
