    • The Classified section is for advertising, members are asked to refrain from posting discussions to a Classified Ad. Please start a discussion thread or PM the owner for discussions.
    • Do not hijack another member's ad by posting unsolicited commentary. Example: if a member has posted an ad offering an anchor for sale, don't add a post to his thread stating that you have an anchor you'd like to get rid of also. Posts deemed as unsolicited commentary may be removed.
    • For your own security, do NOT include your e-mail or phone number in your ad. Instead request that interested parties contact you via PM (private message) to provide owners contact info.
    • Brokers, Dealers, or those with a commercial interest in a sale are prohibited from posting in Classifieds.
    • Only Trawler Forum Commercial Members may post ads in the Commercial section. You must be a designated Commercial Member to start threads in this section of the forum. (Contact a moderator if you have questions about this)
    • Don't post links to commercial sites where you are also offering the boat, such as eBay, Craigslist or Yachtworld, etc. unless it contains a more in-depth description, additional information or pictures.
    • Place only one ad per item (you may repost only when your ad has expired and been removed).
    For Sale ads MUST include:

  • Avoid Scams.

    Our classifieds are free and anyone registered here is welcome to post an ad.
    Be aware that there are unscrupulous folks out there. Avoid any interaction that seems odd to you or �feels� wrong. Inquiries from unknown buyers, buyers �agents� and other non-traditional approaches should be treated with extreme caution.

    Beware of unsolicited contacts offering to put you in touch with someone else who is buying or selling via e-mail or text.

    Do not post your e-mail address or phone number in a classifieds ad.

    Hints that you may be dealing with a Scammer:
    • Seller or Buyer approaches you via a direct email or PM and then steers you to an off-site communication method (text or email).
    • No posts or very few forum posts.
    • Recent forum membership
    • Insists on conducting negotiations via email or text rather than PM
    • Requires payment via Bank Transfer, BitCoin/CryptoCurrency, WesternUnion or other unsecured method.
    • Buyer or Seller suggests Paypal "Friends and Family" payment. Paypal is a good way to arrange payment but an invoice for goods and services should be used rather than "Friends and Family". "Friends and Family" avoids fees BUT there is no recourse if the transaction runs aground. Friends and Family is for gifts only. There is no protection for Friends and Family transactions, so never ever use it to buy something.
    • Declines to allow viewing the item before proceeding with the transaction.

We are upgrading our horns, and offering this near-new Kahlenberg K-380 horn package. This is an area where Nordhavn quite frankly cheaped-out and used a horn unsuitable for a 65' boat. It's a great horn, but recommended for boats up to 45'. We are replacing with the next size up.

The package includes the dual trumpets in chromed brass, 12V air compressor and air tank, and 12V air valve. It's a complete package ready to be wired up to 12V power and to your horn buttons. Great sound, as only Kahlenberg can do.

Here's a link to the Kahlenberg web site info on this product Model K-380 Chrome | Kahlenberg

Sells new for about $600. I'll take $400 for this 6-month old unit.
 
Peter, do you think they'd be sufficient for my boat?

Yes, but I wouldn't be surprised if you don't already have them. Or do you have something else?

We have some Marinco ones that have a little mini compressor with no tank just straight to the horns.
 
Love my Kahlenberg D2 horns.......... four times the power of the 380 and twice the range. I over-indulged but do not regret. Just don't be on the deck forward of the horn. (An electric horn is standard on the Coot. I ordered the Kahlenbergs to be shipped to and installed by the builder. There was no extra charge by the builder for installation.)

What do you use for a compressor for the D2? The one Kahlenberg specs is a giant 120V unit. Did you use that or something else?
 
For a compressor I'd just buy an oiless one from harbor freight and attach a regulator. That's what I plan to do when I upgrade my horn setup one day, I was thinking marinized train horns for sound making end.

I'm afraid that HF compressor will just dissolve into a pile of rust in a short period.
 
The size of the vessel decides the tone of the horn.

read the Kalenberg site.

And I always thought that just like offshore cigarette boats it was related to a feeling of inadequacy on the part of the skipper...

:facepalm:

The chart shows minimal tone/range for various vessel lengths. I went one step above the minimum (deeper tone and half-mile range rather than quarter-mile). I can't find the Kahlenberg chart that was previously easy to access.

Interesting compressor. Was that from Kahlenberg, and if so do you know the model? 12VDC or 24VDC? That looks like a nice in-between size compared to the one they told me I need for the D2. They told me I needed a 120VAC unit with a 20 gal air tank.

Yes, it is all Kahlenberg. It was the recommended compressor/tank combination for the D2 when I purchased them in 2010, but Kahlenberg has modified its product line a little. My compressor came in 120 AC and 12 and 24 volt DC versions. I selected 120.

Annex III of the Navrules discusses whistle signal tone and vessel size.

33 CFR 86 is where the law for inland rules should be found if the cross ref is correct.
 
Twisted Tree, went to the boat today and found that my compressor is model KA500, no longer listed in Kahlenberg's catalog.
 
Thanks. I have a utility compressor in my laz and think I'll just run an air line up the stack.
 
Tug horns

Is the unit still available? I am looking to add a set to my Nordic 26.

Thank you
