[Rhodes22-list] electrick horn

[FredkLange at aol.com]

Slim,

I think I'll build a system like Rummy's and add woofers hung from each 
spreader.  That way I won't have to honk at anyone because I'll be a throbbing, 
water rippling wall of sound drawing attention from everyone as I glide by at 4 
knots.

Fred,

True--sometimes every nanosecond counts.  The problem I have with mounting a
horn somewhere on the boat is that I would assume one would mount it on the
bow, horn facing dead forward.  That'd be fine if you want to honk at
somebody that's right in front of you.  With a hand held, you can aim it in
any direction.  Then again, someone was talking about using a locomotive air
horn which could probably be heard in any direction even if it were mounted
below the water line.  <g>

But now that Rummy has his 200 watt sound system, he could probably just
kick into some Led Zeppelin and get the job done!  8-)  I can just see it:
Some hapless skipper is motoring along, not paying attention, when all of a
sudden:  HEY, HEY, MAMA, SAID THE WAY YOU MOVE, GONNA MAKE YOU SWEAT, GONNA
MAKE YOU GROOVE...  8-)
