Starboard side you will see a little grill by the bow cleat. There should be a duck right underneath it. That’s your horn.

Thanks very much ,I feel pretty stupid, I've seen it many times but never thought about it being the horn. The boat is on the trailer and I didn't look at the outside, I just looked when I was inside the boat. Thanks again!

There are plenty of cheaper options on Amazon for that horn from the OEM. The yamaha part may be quite a bit more expensive.

I guess it's a common failure as it is exposed to water. Salt water can kill one every couple years from what I have heard. I replaced mine, only to find out that my switch may have actually failed. As the new horn has already stopped in a couple months. GRRR.

You have 2 auxiliary horns one dead center of your right hand and the other dead center of your left.
