Is that a button on the left just below the pivot screw for the reset lever?
No. Here's a pic of a new one:

Ken - I can’t open the attachment on my iPad, I’ll try my laptop tonight, I think one of my spades is out as the little light on my pump switch is out - I bet it’s one of the spades by looking at the wiring diagram. Haven’t had time to crawl back there yet. Glad to know spares are right there!Ok, I have had a chance to crawl around my boat to figure out the swim platform fuse issue you guys are posting. I have a 140 amp resettable breaker that is hooked up to the house batteries. I believe this is for the swim platform. It is just starboard of the generator battery.

There are two spade fuses on the swim platform solenoid. (And two spares)

I have two 8D batteries for my thrusters (Bow & Stern) and the fuse is on the wall with the thruster charger. So there is no way the resettable fuse that is by the generator battery would be connected to the thrusters.

I hope this helps.

Thanks Ken!I am not sure if I used Google photos correctly. These are shared links I think.

I’d love to know where “the bracket” is. I’m going to have to come over and get a personal briefing I think!!If you are talking about the swim platform beep, it is buried under the aluminum bracket. They hide it so you cannot disconnect it. Mine went out years ago. I had to remove the old one and mount the new one on top of the bracket. If you want I can upload another photo showing how I installed it. It is a real PITA to get to it under the bracket.

Another great solution that I will gladly copy. Thanks!Carter,
You are welcome anytime. Come on over. The issue with the OEM alarm is it is bolted down to and through the pump plate. In order to remove it, you have to raise the entire pump. Here is our modification:

So I looked online...didn't have much luck. Do you happen to have a vendor/PN? I assume its a 24V horn and you can get to the wires under the bracket to cut/splice? This is getting tough for a 74 year old!! LOL!Yes, but you can get them online much cheaper.

There’s a bunch on eBay and Amazon. Just do a search for 24 V back up alarm. Cheapest one on eBay is $8.38.
