Horn

#1 Post by 1arunem » Mon Jul 02, 2012 10:59 am

Well, the old 'oogah' horn on the toon finally bit the dust. Went to Harbor Freight and bought one of their 'air horns' (comes with small compressor). I had my doubts but it was cheap so I figured what the heck, I can bring it back if it doesn't work.

Hooked it up yesterday and I must say it works pretty darn well. Not train horn loud, but pretty loud none the less! It came with two 'horns', relay, compressor and mounting hardware.

We can now be obnoxious on the water! Haha...

Anyway, just thought I'd share what I did to the toon this weekend..

All for $14.99 plus tax!

Nice, my horn sucks. I think it is blown, I'd love to get something more substantial.

I wanted a Nautilus for my bike but never got one....they are loud....don't know about the marine version though

You won't get one for the cheap though....maybe someday I'll get one for the truck or the future boat.

Here is the one I hooked up. Got it on sale for $14.95.

Not train horn loud, but plenty loud enough and seems to work well.. Knock on wood...
