REPAIRING My $500 BOAT Air Horns With TRASH

We've made a ton of progress on my $500 1966 SeaRay SRV180 (18ft). Today I was experimenting to figure out what I could make a plastic air horn diaphragm with (the parts for this old FIAMM horn don't exist) and I came up with cutting a blister pack to match the existing part. To my surprise, it worked perfectly. So we grabbed the camera and started making a second one to show how it's done. The plan is to get the boat on the water one time, then sell it in the next few weeks.

John, you are incredibly talented. Any car/motorcycle dealership would hire you in a second. I was recently laid off from a large healthcare company myself. You are doing the right thing with your channel. I can see your channel growing as big as Mr. Beast and surpassing him. You educate the consumer which is not something most other channels do. A lof of KZbinr's do goofy shit which is cute but has no content or value behind it. I can see you even getting your own TV show one day. Keep up the good work.

I fixed my toilet siphon in the same way with an old plastic milk bottle. I get a good tone out of it too. No airline required.

[@yuisko]

You should do a time lapse/highlight/compilation video after each project and cut footage you already have to show the completed project from start to finish. Would be a cool way to track each project you finish and kind of like a nice send off. With the lighting, you can really see the seats better from the cleaning video. Looks great!

[@Newman81964]

For the air horn, put a air tank in there and then use an air switch instead of just the air compressor and an electric switch to operate the compressor. Set up up like a small shop compressor with a pressure switch to kick the air compressor on automatically to build the pressure and kick the compressor off when the pressure is at the desired setting. Use something like a 5 gallon tank so that it holds enough air to operate the horns properly.

[@thePorsche911Steve]

Why am I giggling at this? Haha, so much fun seeing you fix this with trash. Oddly satisfying!

Thank you so much for introducing me to ELFL. Keep up the great videos.

[@scottdowney4318]

Fiamm, I think I have a double set of old air horns. The Fiamm compressor went bad runs but no air output, it is a cylindrical shaped one. And the brass metal diaphragms cracked. I made some from the end of a tin can, and they were so loud using a huge air compressor. But they are too thick metal . To adjust the horn, you turn the whole trumpet, loosen lock ring and turn trumpet. I found it easier to just use a Marinco electric dual trumpet horn. But I kept the old air horns.

[@keegan773]

Reminds me of the time my toilet flush stopped working. I took it apart and replaced the lifting diaphragm with heavy duty polythene and to my surprise it not only worked but I had no parts left over when I had finished.

I had "trash" in the WatchJRGo drinking game. Now I'm drunk.

[@rahmanaridho]

The reason why this horn using plastic diaphragm is, because it's used direct drive compressor. It only make 15-20 psi (mine is 20 and it using short and big wire size), the longer the wire or the thinner the wire having higher resistance, making the compressor weaker. Try to use bigger wire and closer to the battery, or simply buy one more compressor (it would be great and loud)

Love ur vids! Saw you on hoovies livestream!

[@Danman1972]

You need to modify the old horns with a holding tank and a better compressor on the boat.

[@dannistjana901]

I got a small boat with very similar hull shape, 12 foot long and 5 ish foot wide. It's much smaller and made for outboard motors. Got a similar flat V hull or even more so. Just wondering if anyone knows if they ever had a smaller version of the Sea Ray built? This is written from Iceland btw and those small ones were made here by the dozens as to teach builders to fibreglass, got the molds from somewhere abroad.

I’m assuming that the trash plastic has no UV inhibitors and wouldn’t last long in sunlight. But if it’s inside the air horn and is kept in the dark, that might not matter.

If nobody makes the parts for those horns, and you've got spare time on your hands, why not create a few kits and sell them online? You could charge whatever you wanted if there's demand and you're the only one selling them. They won't go bad on the shelf while you wait for them to sell, and you can do the engineering work once and sell it fifty times.
