I just installed a 1991 Evinrude 200 hp on my Grady where a a 1981 Johnson 115 hp was installed. Did not hook up vro wires. Any ideas as to why alarm horn goes off?

Re: control alarm horn goes off when connecting battery

Did you disconnect wiring harness at VRO pump, and check wire that connected to remote oil tank, and cover/tape/cap. This leaves 3 sensors, 2 for overheat, 1 for fuel restriction, all have tan wires, disconnect one at the time, until all are disconnected, horn still blowing, check for short in control box ,and shorted horn. The 81 horn will not self test. You should check that you have 12 volts on purple wire at regulator. The 81 harness may not have that wire.
