AFI 10080 Phase II Drop-In Boat Horn with Black and White Grills, 111 dB, 12V

The AFI 10080 Phase II Drop-In Boat Horn is a compact marine horn built for a clean, hidden installation with an authentic marine sound. It mounts from the outside of the hull or dash panel through a small round cutout, so the body of the horn stays out of sight while only the grill is visible. The horn ships with two screw-on grills, one black and one white, giving you the option to match the finish of your boat. Both grills are lined with a water-resistant fabric liner that lets sound pass through freely while keeping water out of the horn body.

This Phase II version carries a louder dB(A) rating of 111 dB at one meter, up from the standard Drop-In model, so it projects a clear, attention-getting signal over wind and engine noise. It runs on a 12V electrical system and draws a maximum of 4 amps, with a fundamental frequency of 370 +/- 20Hz. Installation is straightforward: cut a 2.75 inch diameter hole, 1 inch deep, mount the horn body, and screw the grill on from the outside. It is an easy retrofit for boats that need a discreet horn upgrade or replacement.
