This Marinco electric horn has two trumpets in a compact body, 16 inches long, 7-1/2 inches wide and 4 inches high. Its exterior is all stainless steel. The diaphragm is Type 304 stainless steel, and the horn is rated at 110 dB(A) at one meter. It runs on 12V.
Our take
The stainless exterior and Type 304 stainless diaphragm mean the parts that sit in spray and the part that makes the noise are both metal. The horn is rated at 110 dB(A) at one meter from a body 16 inches long.
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.
