[C320-list] Replace engine alarm.....and a new site to check out

[Robert Seastream]

I've found that my alarm is sensitive to how tightly the plastic  
(vented) cover atop it is screwed in place.  If too tight, I think it  
distorts the diaphragm of the sounder to the point where it won't  
vibrate, which kills the sound.  Dunno whether I have a 12V or 24V  
version; it's loud enough for me.
