    2015 G23 horn not working

    Any ideas on what I could do to fix it? Nothing happens when I push the horn button.

    Probably needs replaced. They are known to go bad. Easy to replace though. Disconnect the wires at the horn. Put a voltmeter on the wires at the horn end and have someone press the horn button. If you see 12v at the wires then you have a bad horn.

        It's held in by those standard "Christmas Tree" studs. Usually you can pull the panel and replace it a couple of times before the studs either break or wear out.

          Great, thanks. Oh, one more question....do you know where I can get another horn if that's what's wrong with it. It would be a warranty item, but honestly the hassle of driving the boat to the dealer 2 hours away may not be worth it.

              On the 2013 G23, the horn is near the amps, with its own thru-hull fitting. You can crawl in there and easily remove it. $45 from nautiqueparts. I'm guessing your 2015 is the same. Just slide the horn piece out from the mounting bracket. Install new horn in its place. No tools needed.

                Call your dealer. If they feel good about you doing this DIY, they'll just ship you the part.

                    Is the horn super low volume wise?
