This is the 24V single trumpet electric horn from Marinco's XLP line. It is rated at 118 dB(A) at one meter with a fundamental frequency of 390 Hz, and it draws a maximum of 2.5 amps at 24V. The diaphragm is Type 304 stainless steel, and the internal motor cover housing is completely over-molded. The horn measures 16-1/2 by 4 by 4-3/4 inches.
Our take
The 24V version draws a maximum of 2.5 amps (the 12V version 5), against a 118 dB(A) rating at one meter. The over-molded motor cover housing is the added protection the maker says backs its five-year warranty.
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.
