looked at a boat today and noticed the bilge and horn weren't working. The push button resets next to switch seemed to not be tripped. Is there another location for a fuse or something else it could be. Maybe they are on same line? Thanks

Don't know anything specific to that model, but welcome aboard and good luck in your search for the right boat. Hopefully you can find one soon enough and get some water time in yet this season!

More than a few people have found the stock breakers have gone bad. May be as simple as swapping them out. Although both being bad at the same time would be quite a coincidence.

The crappy Yamaha horns only last about a year too, so the horn may be the problem too.

The bilge was bad, they replaced it. If the horn went bad would the red light still come on when switch was pressed?

Pretty sure it would come on even if the horn was fried.

Mine doesn't have a light on the horn switch...

@Philip what was the culprit in your 2015 post? My horn and bilge light (bilge pump is working) are also not working.

Going to follow the advice on this post. Horn is 5 years old, so replacing that since it’s cheap and easy.
