Has anyone up graded their horn and if so which did you choose? The horn that is on the boat in very low and is hard to hear, I want a loud horn so if I need to use it they will hear it and know to atleast look around.

Good question. I'd like to upgrade mine, too.

Me three.

Isn't there a Coast Guard spec on how loud the horn should be? Horns are supposed to be used for signalling other boats in traffic situations.

Oddly enough, the one problem I am having with my new boat is the horn. Somehow, it pretty much just pooped out. When I hit the button, I get a really quiet horn sound... no more car-horn loudness.

I suppose we could always mount some air horns...

How about this one?

It's not a 150 db Stebel for a motorcycle, but it's a 105db...

Haven't dug up the CG specs yet, but they are out there. I believe in excess of 100 db is required. Certainly the stock horn FW provides does not meet this requirement.

Here's a couple horns that do meet CG specs from West Marine:

Found a mp3 for the horn sound I want, but can't attach it.

The stock FW horn is not much. I would love to have tuned pipes to blast at some of the idiots on the water.

My buddy had some train horns sitting in his garage that he had mounted on his truck for a while...if they werent so big and I could find a place to mount them than they would definately be on the boat

That one at Boater's World posted by cougar looks pretty good.

So you could honk at cars passing in front of your driveway?

You guys can look at this unit! It does not give the db levels but I had tripped across this last winter when I bought my docking lights.
