The Marinco 10001 is a mini compact twin horn, a two-tone deck horn. The covers, diaphragms and mounting bracket are all Type 304 stainless steel. Its fundamental frequencies are 490 and 440, each with a tolerance of 20. The maker gives the maximum current draw as 6 amps at 12 volts, and the body measures 3 in long, 8 in wide and 1-3/4 in high.
Our take
This twin horn sounds two fundamental tones, near 490 and 440, and its covers, diaphragms and mounting bracket are all Type 304 stainless. It draws up to 6 amps at 12 volts, so plan the circuit around that figure.
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.
