Mariah Horns Question
 

Are horns on all Mariah boats the same? Was the flush mount horn only uses on certain models? Can you still buy them? :confused:

Hi Doug

I'm not sure what brand they used (i suspect AFI) but they had a mix of flush mount and hidden horns in the different models. West Marine has a good selection and they all wire up in the same fashion.

Here's a link to their site:

Doug,

Describe to me what the horn looks like, I should be able to identify it. A picture would be great, not sure if that is possible.

Best Regards,

I have never seen the actual horn on mine.

I don't know where it's hidden, but it's sound level is pretty pathetic! :shakehead:

On my Diablo,

It is located on the underside of the helm area (tucked way up there). Pretty much below where the starboard window starts to wrap. Mine is pathetic sounding also. I just use it for fun to bug people on board. :)

It works, that is what matters.

Doug,

I just looked at West Marine's web site and the AFI compact horn w/black cover pn#10023 will work. It is not an exact replacement - I am sure they have changed the looks over the years but it will work. There will be two wires and you will need to put a male bullet connector on the horn wires because the harness will have female bullets to connect the two. I believe the horn is on the stbd. side of the steering rack and helm but I am not positive - it has been a while! See how this work and I will be watching to see if you need more assistance.

Mine is hidden up under the helm on the starboard side. It's a little tough to get at but it's doable. Sticking your head in there and having someone hit the horn button should let you find it real quick.. :yes_grin:

The two types of horns Mariah used were ITC and AFI brands. I have thinking about this since the first post. After working for three boat mfgs. it takes a little while to sort things out in my mind!!

Hmmm, give it some time and it will all start to come back to you. :D
You will definately be an asset to this webpage.
