Horn

[the daydreamer]

I dont have a horn on the boat now and would like to install one. Would like the flush mount type. Anyone have one laying around they would like to sell?

get a couple whistles to make sure you are legal adn get an air horn to be heard

Got those just wanting to install real horn

My air horn is installed in the cuddy.

If you're a salt water guy, forget the real horn and use an air horn that can REALLY be heard. In the course of stripping buckets of obsolete and non-functioning stuff off of my '85 V, I took the top off the electric horn - it was a solid gob of rust.
Just my opinion - I think it's a waste of time.

thanks but my boat lives on the lake 90 % of the time. once or twice a year we take it to the coast for a week or so.

X2 on that waste of time!

They make the OUTside stainless steel and the inside the cheapest unpainted steel they can find in China. A single isn't loud enough.... a double costs twice as much to replace every couple years. They always work fine when you don't need them...I carry a can air horn and THAT rusts and doesn't work when you need it to.

Horns are made by the same Chinese company that makes trailer lights.

I'm with Spare, Scook, and Skunk!

I carry a couple cheap whistles to keep the man off my back.

friend just bought an 06 tidewater, had a horn mounted of the side of the console, looked like a speaker. this boat has been in nothing but salt, and it still works. could not believe it

This thread got me thinkin...

I'll bet a GM truck horn from the junkyard mounted in the cuddy behind the helm with the horn directed towards the hatch would last a while and give a decent blast. Might try it out.

I have one of these. Works great!
