The "Warning Horn" which sounds when there is a problem is still available. The "Thermostats" that sense the overheat problem and send the signal to the Warning Horn is still available. So which part are you looking for? Almost all parts are still available from 1973 and newer. See this article: http://www.whalercentral.com/readarti...ticle_id=9 For parts availability, see BRP Online Parts Catalog here: http://epc.brp.com/login.aspx?ReturnU...=ej&lang=E

There may also be an upgraded part number and the dealer can tell you that.

Just got the boat out of the shop... didn't replace the horn but had to replace a faulty kill switch on this same control. My local mechanic (OMC factory trained) is very good... but expensive! I hope all are as expensive! I always walk away wondering. What can you do? eh, that's boating!!
