Common Concerns Answered
Will this horn provide sufficient audibility?
With an impressive 111-decibel output at a 370 Hz frequency, this horn ensures your signaling is clearly heard. While some may prefer a dual-tone option, this single-tone horn meets stringent regulatory loudness requirements.
Can I use this horn in saltwater environments?
This horn is specifically recommended for freshwater applications to ensure optimal longevity and performance. For saltwater use, alternative horns with materials specifically rated for marine corrosion resistance in those conditions should be considered.
What is the P65 warning referring to?
The P65 warning is a California Proposition 65 disclosure regarding potential exposure to certain chemicals. It is a standard warning for many products and does not necessarily indicate a direct hazard during normal intended use as a marine horn.
