Warning buzzer

[1986mariner150]

in checking out why my buzzer was not self testing on start up I found one of the wires had been cut, and it was pretty rusty so I cut the other and brought it in the garage for cleaning/testing. After some amount of work(I finally had to bang it on the carpeted side of the bench) I got it working but it was short lived. I went on a site and priced a new buzzer and it was nearly 60 usd which is way too high considering what the part consists of. I am thinking about replacing the thing with a bright light on the console, it may be less annoying to the fish as well. Will this work? Or any ideas for a cheaper reliable replacment buzzer? I have already destroyed 1 smoke alarm.

Re: Warning buzzer

yes a warning light will work, but what do you do when you are at the bow of the boat, motor is idling, and you are tryibg to untangle some rope and not at the wheel, and this lil red light is flashing away with nobody to see it....

Thanks for the quick reply. That senerieo will never play out on my rig as I never leave the helm with the motor running.

Re: Warning buzzer

At Radio Shack get the loudest one they have - its 108db P/N 273-057 $9.99 or the siren at 102db P/N 273-079 $4.99. Try to get the 108db one - the louder the better in a boat.<br /><br />
