Hi George,
We've got one of these and you're absolutely right, They are EARSPLITTING!
When we bought ours it was called the "Admiral Hornblower" and that is how
it's listed on the West Marine web site. Maybe that's a difference between
the US & Canada.
Like you, we keep it on the bridge (somewhat protected) hanging by its
lanyard. It's been there for several years now and still seems as good as
new.
Cheap, simple, bulletproof, and LOUD; this thing would also be an excellent
candidate for inclusion in an abandon ship kit or as a permanent fixture on
the dinghy.
Quietly yours,
Alex
