Now, if you do happen to find it to be one of the sensors, be sure and determine if it is acting up when cold or if it is after the engine has ran a while.
If when cold, probably the sensor is bad.
If after running a while, could be a stuck thermostat or blockage somewhere.
If you have to change the sensor, do both of them and the thermostats also.

Do you still have the oil injection system connected?

FERM's right. All the horn, oil and sensor stuff is connected together and tripped by the ground. Any of these can be the culprit.

The tach needs a pulse hot and a ground to operate. Depending how the boat was wired it could create a problem but I would expect it to be in reverse. Nothing working while disconnected

I have no idea where the book to my motor is. Was gonna trace the path and color of the horn wire to see what we might have overlooked.
Does the horn come on with the key switched on or only when the engine is running?

The first time the engine would run for maybe 5 seconds and then the alarm would come on. The second time it would come on after turning on the key.

Ferm, on the fuel restriction sensor, I should just disconnect the black wires?

Basically, the way the horn sitiation works is a constant hot thru the key switch, the ground will be derived thru the 2 temp sensors and any of the VRO system. If any of them trip it sends the ground path from the motor block to the horn.
You may disconnect the VRO and not interupt the water temp portion and visa versa.

Does it matter that my tach is presently disconnected?
