Is this horn appropriate for an 18' pontoon boat? My husband would love to have a horn that sounds like that of a river barge.

This horn is very loud. It would scare everybody on the lake & probably shake your 18' pontoon & it does not sound like a barge horn. Our boat is 36' & it's loud for it. Good luck!

I have mine up and out of reach, but it is very close to 5 or 6 inches in length and the wide part of the horn is about 3 1/2 to 4 inches in diameter. Best I can do.

I have twin 150's and a 26' boat. I think it would be a stretch unless you have two. Please call Teleflex/Sea Star, the techs are very knowledgeable.

Hi, this would be more of a marine horn sound. It is a higher tone, than the train horn.

My friend has a pontoon boat, not sure the length and motor size, but it pulled it just fine. Our boys are younger, <8, so we don't just go wide open, but it pulled the tube fine.

I honestly do not know it it would or not as we don't own a pontoon type boat. Sorry I can't be of more help...=((

Hi Brian, Thanks for your question. If you could tell me a little about your one-person pontoon boat (brand and model number would be great) I'll do some checking and see if I can give you an authoritative answer on whether or not the MotorGuide R3 trolling motor will work with your boat. Thanks, Bob Harlow MTNA

The power cable should be long enough to tie into the boat wiring. The transducer wire should be long enough for most pontoon boats.

I use it on my 24 foot pontoon boat and the motor head is about a foot and a half under water. I prefer to stand while fishing and use a handle extender.

Don't use dragon. I use it on a 4000 HP tugboat and it works great. The noise reduction is the best.

It is good for pontoons because of the way it mounts, shaft length, and the way the handle is designed. But you could use it on other boats as well. Make sure these factors will work for your application.

To be honest with you. This is a great item. It is not ridiculously loud. It is more less a deep sounding growl. I actually love it. It is not an annoying over bearing sound. I recommend it if you are not looking for the ridiculous loud sounding muffler. If you purchase it. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

They give you a paper with the canoe and you have to bring that. It is a title I think and you need the serial number on the plate on the side of the canoe next to the bow its not on the paper so make sure to write it down. I live in men and I had to go to the DMV to register mine but since I didn't have the serial I had to go twice. It is a water quest 156 kl industries and they wanted all of that information. Have fun! Its an awesome canoe! I got a 30 lb thrust trolling motor and it pushed it up river slowly but I guess I would recommend a 50 lb if you really want to go upstream a lot.

The shaft is too short for a pontoon boat, you would need at least a 52" shaft. Take a look at MinnKota Pontoon 55H. It is probably better suited for your boat.

Replacement horn, set of 2, can use 1, 2 sounds better, nice mellow euro tone, (if you want loud, get a set of air horns), hz= tone, higher db= louder horn. Cheers

Gary, this item was for a larger boat than we own so I had to return it. Sorry I can not be of more help.

Probably not. Mine is on a 16 foot, square stern, Old Town Canoe and I'm not overpowered and actually wish I had a bit more. Considering weight, surface area and potential wind, I think you'll be OK with the 45.
