AFI 10099 Mini Blast Compact Electric Boat Horn, White, 106 dB(A)

The AFI 10099 Mini Blast Compact Electric Boat Horn is a compact, single-horn electric horn built for boaters who want a durable, easy-to-mount horn without a bulky air-compressor kit. The horn comes in a white casing that suits any boat's finish, and the plastic cover is made from a non-corrosive, long-lasting ASA material that protects the internal mechanics from the marine environment. Inside, the sound-producing unit is fully sealed and built around a stainless steel diaphragm, which resists corrosion and holds up to prolonged exposure to moisture and salt air.

Electrically, the Mini Blast runs on 12 volts and draws a maximum of 3 amps, making it an easy addition to most 12-volt boat electrical systems. It produces a dB(A) rating of 106 decibels at one meter (3 feet), with a fundamental frequency of 440 +/- 20 Hz, giving it a clear, audible tone in a compact package measuring 4-3/8 inches long by 3-3/8 inches wide by 2 inches high. It mounts in the same hole pattern as the AFI 10035 horn, so it can be used as a direct retrofit where that mounting pattern is already in place.
