AFI Electric Horns: Marine-Grade Sound Devices Built to Last
AFI (Marinco) stands as the leading supplier of horns to the marine industry, with over fifty years of experience designing sound devices specifically for harsh saltwater environments. The brand supplies major boat manufacturers including Malibu Boats, Axis Wake, Mastercraft, Nautique, Supra, and Moomba, earning a reputation for reliability where it matters most. When you're exploring electric horns for marine applications, AFI delivers the durability and acoustic performance that safety regulations demand.
Premium XLP Series Construction
AFI's XLP trumpet horns feature complete over-molding of the internal motor cover housing, providing exceptional protection against moisture intrusion and corrosion. Stainless steel is used for all critical components such as trumpets, motor cover, diaphragms, assembly and mounting hardware, ensuring long-term performance in saltwater spray and humid conditions. This extra protective process backs up the five-year warranty that comes standard with these marine horns.
Single and Dual Trumpet Configurations
AFI offers electric horns in both single and dual trumpet configurations to suit different vessel sizes and sound requirements. AFI electric horns meet the American Boat & Yacht Council (ABYC) Regulation #A23 for boats up to 12 meters, making them suitable for a wide range of recreational and commercial marine vessels. The compact CTD series features a design ideal for installation in smaller spaces, while standard models deliver powerful acoustic output ranging from 107 to 123 decibels at one meter.
Drop-In and Surface Mount Options
Beyond traditional trumpet-style installations, AFI manufactures drop-in electric horns designed for flush mounting applications. These models feature enclosed sound units with snap-in grills in both black ABS and white ASA finishes, offering clean aesthetics while maintaining the distinctive marine horn sound profile. Whether you need a surface-mounted trumpet horn or a concealed drop-in unit, AFI's product line provides installation flexibility for various boat designs and mounting locations.
