Mount the horn facing forward for best sound projection, as required by NMMA for larger boats.
Mount the compressor close to the trumpet in a dry interior location for optimal performance and sound.
Use the rubber gasket and tighten base plate nuts evenly to ensure a watertight seal at the mounting base.
Mount the compressor no further than 30 inches from the trumpet to ensure the best sound quality.
Avoid kinks or sharp bends in plastic tubing to maintain air flow and horn sound.
Protect the electrical circuit with the provided 20-amp inline fuse for safety.
Ensure the inline fuse is connected directly to the power source for proper operation.
Use the supplied relay to protect the factory horn button switch and wiring from higher amperage.
The 20-amp inline fuse must be connected directly to the power source.
Horn meets U.S. Coast Guard, NMMA, and ABYC standards for boats.
Wolo offers a twelve-month warranty against defects in workmanship and materials.
Return product prepaid with proof of purchase and a description of the problem for service.

The Wolo Model 160 OCEAN ALERT® MINI is a 12-volt air horn system designed for marine vessels, offering both a functional signal and an additional layer of safety. This product is manufactured by Wolo Marine, a company that emphasizes the use of fine materials and rigorous testing to ensure products meet manufacturing specifications before packaging. The horn system is designed to meet several key marine standards, including the U.S. Coast Guard's C.O.L.R.E.G.S. and U.S. Inland Navigation Rules, Annex III Regulations for boats up to 20 meters / 65 ft. It is also "type accepted" by the National Marine Manufacturers Association (NMMA) and meets the American Boat & Yacht Council (ABYC) A-23 standard for boats up to 20 meters / 65 ft., indicating its compliance with industry safety and performance benchmarks.
The OCEAN ALERT® MINI functions as an audible signaling device for boats, crucial for navigation safety and compliance with marine regulations. It operates using a 12-volt electrical system to power a compressor, which in turn supplies air to the horn's trumpet(s) to produce a loud sound. The system is designed for either integration with a new horn button switch or connection to an existing factory horn system (two-wire system) on the vessel. The use of a relay is mandatory for both installation scenarios to protect the horn button switch and wiring from excessive amperage, ensuring reliable operation and longevity of the electrical components.
