Go the warranty route first. This happened to me with my Harris. My horn quit. Took the boat, got the horn replaced and was told, Harris knew there was a problem with horns and there was some other thing they'd do if it quit working again.

Or, mount a compressor and a train horn. Yeah .. scare the crap out of the jet skiis.

You have a TAHOE!!!

Call them! (800) 334-2913
They'll send you a new one!
Thanks Bob, I'm sure they will, I just don't know whether it is worth it or not. I personally think the horn needs to be in a different place. Mine is mounted in the housing that is around the toon about 1 foot from the front. Any oncoming wakes will wash right in on top of the horn.

I'd also like a louder horn. Anyone mount an airhorn under the deck and had it hold up?
