    Yamaha Alarm Buzzer needs to be louder

    My hearing is degraded and I discovered a few weeks ago that I cannot hear my alarm buzzer when running. I would like to replace it with something much louder and relocate it to the outside top of the console at the same time. Does Yamaha make a louder buzzer or can I directly replace it with a 12V 108b Piezo type buzzer that draws 150 ma max without fear of damage to the sensors at the motor end.


    Thanks for any comments and have a great day

    that 12V piezio horn should do it.
    depending on where yours is mounted it can also be remounted.

      Yamaha does not make a louder buzzer.

      The specs for the one you are proposing is so low that the motor will not be affected.

      Another thought is a bright LED bulb positioned on the helm somewhere within the field of view. It can supplement a buzzer.

      Or, as rodbolt says, you can remove the existing buzzer from either the control box or the back of the key switch and mount it somewhere closer to your good ear.

        I was thinking myself to connect auto relay parallel to buzzer, like fan relay, and to it connect another buzzer and bright red light.

          Thanks to all for your comments. I will install an LED along with the new buzzer since the original will be marginal for my hearing even when located outside the console

            depending on the motor.
            I have used a twin horn setup using a standard 12v twin horn setup.
            will make the deaf jump.
