    Electric Horn VS Air Horn

    My Tomcat has an air horn installed. When I bought the boat the compressor was locked up and I had to buy and install a new one. The horn still only works about 50% of the time. Every time I take the back off the horn and put it back together it works for a while again. Just a thin piece of...
