Horn not making a horn noise

Anything like this

Make sure these are pointing down slightly so water runs out.

Good shout but that's a double horn and the mounting is different. Noted re water running out!

Are your air pipes clear of water? Mine can get some water that stops the horn working properly. You might also try a bike pump to blow out the cr@p in the horn?

There is nothing in the pipe between compressor and horn, also I cleaned out the horn using a cable tie (amazing amount of leaves etc in there which I thought would fix my problem) but no improvement.

I wonder if water has got into the air compressor but there is a good force of air coming through it so I would still expect the horn to work.

If you only need one then you have a spare horn and spare compressor. It looks as if the horns are just bolted together.

Correct however the mounting is different so I may as well buy a completely different horn elsewhere for less ££.

If the boat is 12m loa or more, you'll need an approved horn to meet the col regs. Details of this (and it's orientation) are here: https://kahlenberg.co.uk/imo-requirements/

It's a mere 9m.
