WE use 2 horns , a dinky electric for tooting bridges and locks or defining passing situations .

And a big air horn with DC compressor and an old propane bottle as accumulator, manual pull valve to operate..

Some bridge tenders are watching TV and never hear a dinky horn or a VHF call.

The air horn is considered less aggressive than the starting cannon needed at times.
