Author	Topic:   Weak warning horn in OMC binnacle control for 225hp Ocean Runner?
gimcrack225	posted 08-04-2004 06:35 PM ET (US)      I have a 1993 225 hp Johnson Ocean Runner outboard. The warning horn is barely audible with the engine off. When the engine is running its impossible to hear the horn. Is it likely that the horn is corroded or otherwise in need of replacement? So far the engine has never appeared to overheat and has never dropped into s.l.o.w. mode but I would like to be sure. I performed the test by grounding the two temperature sensors and the horn sounds very weakly. I had a 2000 Johnson 70hp before and you could hear the warning horn for 300 feet. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated. Karl
