Large air horn

[Joey@HAT]

Hi, I need help wth an air horn. I can't find a way to fill it up. My other boat had an electric horn. This has a large tank with a device on top of it and hoses going from the device to the two trumpet horns. There is no manufacturers name on the tank. Anyone have any ideas?

Looks like a little compressor on the top of the tank. So see where the wires go and wire it up to 12 volts and make it work...

I hear a click each time I hit the horn botton. Don't know if it seized but thanks I'll try to test the wires for juice

Bondo had the answer already. Cheap fix too. HF has air horn kits also if the compressor is big enough for your horns.

OK, I found the the wire and reconnected it. Took long enough. I got the compressor to work. I just hear air going though the horn. The compressor doesn't shot off. What do you guys think.

How long you let the compressor run? Most have a shut off valve that shuts off the compressor when the correct pressure is met.

I don't let it run long maybe that is the problem,. But when I shut it down and press the horn button I hear air going through the horn. Is there a something I'm missing. I always had electric horns. There is nothing on the horns them selves were I can add oil.

It takes a fair amount of air volume to make them sound off. Try running the compressor a while longer, see if it shuts down on it's own.

Could just be the horns are shot
