    same here... horns were not working well when I got the boat last year, I
    simply unscrewed the rear, clean the little disc. that was probably the
    easiest marine repair task I ever faced :-). it's an air system powered by
    an engine driven compressor

    i noticed that if I don't use them regularly, water gets in and they get
    stuck again...
