How to Replace an Air Horn on a Crownline

Crownline has been building boats in Illinois since 1991. Its lineup includes bow-riders, cruisers and cuddy cabins. It's common that boats come equipped with air horns to alert other boaters and swimmers to their presence. They're mounted on the front of the boat to project the sound in the direction of movement. Because the horns are installed outside and subjected to a harsh environment, they have a tendency to fail. Replacing a horn is a simple process any boat owner can do.
