WIRING: 
USING BOATS FACTORY HORN SYSTEM (TWO WIRE SYSTEM) 
Fig. 5
WARNING: You are required to use the relay supplied with this horn kit to protect the factory horn button switch 
and wiring. The original factory horn draws less amperage. The relay will ensure that the horn works reliably 
and will protect the factory horn system.
14. Remove the two (2) wires 
connected to factory horn. 
15. Connect relay terminal 85 to one of 
the factory horn wires. Note: It does not 
make a difference which factory horn 
wire is connected to terminal 85.
16. Connect relay terminal 86 to the 
other factory horn wire.
17. Connect relay terminal 30 to 
positive (+) 24-volts such as the battery, 
alternator or fuse block, using 16-gauge 
or heavier wire. 

WARNING: The 15-

amp inline fuse provided must be 
connected directly to the power source.
18. Connect relay terminal 87 to the compressor’s positive (+) terminal. Use not less than 16-gauge wire.
19. Connect the compressor’s negative (-) terminal to boat’s negative (-) battery post or any clean metal 
negative surface. Use not less than 16-gauge wire.
