A compact 12 volt electric horn with a black cover made of ASA plastic. It has a sealed sound unit with a stainless steel diaphragm. The rating is 106 dB(A) at one meter, with a fundamental frequency of 430 Hz plus or minus 20. Maximum draw is 3 amps. It measures 4.375 x 3.375 x 2 in. and shares the hole pattern of the Marinco 10035 horn.
Our take
With a maximum draw of 3 amps at 12 volts, this horn adds little load to its circuit. It is rated 106 dB(A) at one meter, and the hole pattern matches the 10035, so it can swap into that horn's mounting spot.
From our buying guide
A boat of 12 m or more must have a whistle, and one of 20 m or more a bell as well. Under 12 m it need not carry them, but must have some other means of making an efficient sound signal.
Check before you buy:
- You aren't comparing loudness across makers, since they measure it at different distances, or give no distance at all.
- You can mount a fixed horn facing forward and as high as possible, as Kahlenberg says to.
- You have any parts the maker leaves to you, such as a horn button and fuse.
