amallano 0 Report post Posted April 30, 2020 Ok, the goal is to install dual trumpet style horns. I cant find a good location by the old ones. I don't want to block the anchor locker, and that is where you stand to tie up to the cleat anyway. I found 1 pic on the Internet of someone that has them mounted on the starboard side by the windshield near the windshield wiper. The issue is, how do I get wiring there? If you take out the helm gauge cluster, you can see through to a point, but you wouldn't reach that area as the helm meets the rest of the upper body. If you look inside the helm access panel, on the right/starboard side you see wiring access panels, but there is no reaching them and no way to get to them up top. Then I though, what if the windshield wiper motor blew? How do you replace it?? Has to be a way, right? It seems to be in the area above the head (toilet) (which the whole head is an enclosure) or just next to it above the vinyl covered ceiling. Question - Has anyone run trumpet horns to this location? How? Question - Has anyone replaced the windshield wiper motor? How? Question - Has anyone (successfully and not destructively) removed/reinstalled the ceiling panel next to the head/starboard portal? If I get an answer to the windshield wiper motor, I can figure out how to run the wires for the horns. I love this boat but accessing wiring and access to things in general is just so frustrating.

LBJ 0 Report post Posted June 23, 2020 I'm an original owner of a 2002 322 and solved the trumpet horn issue by taking it to the radar arch. Made a custom bracket for it out of aluminum. I used 1/4x1" stock for the mounting survice and vertical rib and the base out of old scrap from a boat trailer wench mount. Then had a welder put them together and painted it white. It worked great! see attached. Two points on mounting. The top of the radar arch is slightly curved. Thought of it as a nonissue... put a base of silicone down and tighten each of the four screws down a little at a time. I also made a point of tightening the front two ahead of the others to pull the horns slightly downward to ensure water would drain out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
