596 | skopje179 | Horn dead again --- what is the best replacement? | 9/6/2005 21:25:00 | |
The horn on my 2510 is dead again--probably rusted out. Dead, dead, dead, deader than a door-nail!!!! I replaced the factory installed horn with an AFI dual trumpet SS model. It lasted two seasons. Must not be 100% SS, because there is rust running out of the trumpets. I'm ready to trash an electric horn and get one of those 18-wheeler air horns. They put hundreds of thousands of miles over salt-covered roads on those air horns. Most I've seen have a SS cover over the front of the horn to deflect rain, which would also deflect saltwater spray coming from the bow. The cover doesn't seem to lower the output, cause when one of those buggers going down the highway at 70 mph, blast his horn, it will scare the crap out of you. Certainly they will hold up to saltwater spray. Where is Megabyte? Didn'he discuss replacing a horn a while back? |
