Where's the horn?

[HutchNJ]

Bought an '87 190 Classic. Had no horn and I'm adding one and have no idea where it's supposed to go. Where ws the stock horn on this boat?
Thanks for the help as usual .......

Re: Where's the horn?

There are probably several locations depending on what type of horn was ordered. You'll have to pick a spot you can access mounting hardware and conceal wiring.
You might google it and see if there are any pics on the web that would indicate mounting position.

Usually the horn is a switch on the switch/fuse panel - Got any spares?

I have an '89 18' Sport in original shape and the horn is located on the left upper side of the center console...

On my '87 210 Classic, the horn is between the console and the outer side of the boat. From inside the cuddy, if I take the entire board off that covers the wiring for the gauges (not just the access hatch), I can see it up along the left side of the console (facing from the front to the back of the boat), hidden where all the wires pass to the rear of the boat. I'm not sure how one might manage to get a new one mounted in that position, given the available clearance to get in there with a screwdriver, but perhaps in that general area below the gauges would work? Mine is very quiet, I'm not yet sure if its going bad, or due to its location, so I may be looking at a new mounting area myself.

On my 89 170 Classic, it's under the dash mounted on the right side.
