This is a dual trumpet electric horn from Marinco for 24V DC systems. The exterior is all stainless steel, and the diaphragm is Type 304 stainless. It is rated at 123 dB(A) at one meter, with fundamental frequencies of 390 and 330 Hz, and it carries a 5 year warranty. A laminated horn signal card and stainless mounting screws come with it.
Our take
Two fundamental frequencies, 390 and 330 Hz, go with the twin trumpets, so expect a two-note sound at a stated 123 dB(A) at one meter. The 5 year warranty backs the all-stainless build.
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.
