Horns that are not crap?
another rusted, busted electric horn...
this one lasted fron September to December. The one before, one season and befor that, two seasons (but I had to smack it a few times...) I WILL NOT BUY ANOTHER ONE! Seems all brands and models have the same exact horn mechanism with different outsides. Plastic or stainless doesn't matter...All made in the same chinese factory that makes trailer lights. The horn itself rusts to shi... Got a can of horn at wally world... I know.... they rust too...

Kevin have you had experience with the Schmitt unit?
Not practical on a V 20 but many of the larger boats use air horns with compressors etc. The only horn that I have that works is a silly electronic type on the 23 Wellcraft.

No experience just saw that they had a 5 yr warranty....
Warranty doesn't cover electrical components tho... I THINK that the elec parts should be protected in them tho.

Most important is it works if you get boarded by law enforcement. I carry a air can on the Bertram because both horns have rusted to crap and a whistle on the RIB and V 20. I know a good friends wife got a ticket for not having a whistle on a 13' Whaler inside the harbor here. Within sight of land on every side but still got fined.

I once got a ticket from the CG on lake eerie for a horn....
It worked fine 5 min before they boarded me... The jokers ripped out the wire grabbing my boat... (Open aluminum) I pointed it out and they still ticketed me.
