I'm the guy who bought the K-380 horns from Twistedtree. (Thanks again, Peter!!) They're proudly installed on my 34 footer. When I first tested them after installation in my slip, the USCG crews who are docked behind my slip gave me an approval cheer.

They are appropriately sized for my vessel and are very loud! I have a fwd stbd door and felt they'd be too loud to use when the door is open so I mounted them on the port side. I try to always warn crew and passengers before sounding the horns.

The final cost due to an insurance claim on damage to the horns in shipping resulted in a final cost of 0.164 BU. Best $$ I've spent all year on my boat!
