Hi all - I am experiencing a weak horn ... that starts blowing fine and then after a second or so descends into a tired gasp. If I immediately try to rehonk the horn it continues with a tired gasp ... but if I wait 6 or 7 seconds to retry the horn it honks fine again for a second or two and then redescends into a gasp.
One of my dock neighbors suggested that it might be the sign of a weak battery as the horn draws quite a few amps. Does anybody know on the 42/44DA into which battery the horn is wired?
Well, I'd be guessing but your port batteries are your "house." So, I am guessing starboard side. Of course you could easily confirm this by simply disconnecting your easily accessed positive starboard battery terminals and then test your horn. Let us know....
