228 horn

[wavetamer]

my horn just stopped working, can see positive leave switch and I assume there is a pos/neg that is soldered to each horn, has any one had this type of failure before there has to be a connection some where I cant get at or find

Those Ongaro horns fail regularly. However, they can often be repaired by clean the contacts, the diaphragm, and adjusting the tension screw on the diaphragm.

Here is a general description of how to fix a boat horn:

I just looked that up because I'm working on my own horn today. The first thing I do is to take off the covers and spray everything with Corrosion X. If that doesn't work, I go from there.
