"I was wondering if vibration coming from the control box is a good or bad thing. I heard it this past monday and it almost seems to be an alarm maybe, but its a vibration instead of noise. The boat still works fine, just never heard it before. Wondering if it it anything important."

"Actually i just thought about it. This morning i took it out and it didn't make that noise at all, at least i didn't hear. Could it be that it is sticking or intermittent."

If this horn was working correctly it would be an alarm of some sorts not a vibration or anything like that.
