Gobi’s Jon bote part II

[Gobi King]

Can someone suggest a surface mount horn pls
I am getting ready run wires

Bought a marinco 10099 horn ,
Size wise it is pretty big

I got this 5 switch box but the switches are big and takes up a lot of space but Amazon says it water resistant (??)

I have see some
Solutions where people mount switches on bent aluminum facia.

Lol, "water resistant" and "waterproof" are world's apart. My advice is mount it in a spot where it won't get wet !! Here's a dash mounted one I found on www that actually is made for marine use and says "waterproof". Do a search for boat horn switch

Temps are slowly climbing
Back to the jon bote

I saw this on couple
Of boats online
Any idea who makes this or where I can buy one ?

I've Maxed-out my electrical stuff for a kayak. Capsizing might be a disaster. My vessel approach warning is my voice and a flashing red headlamp light. I never stop redoing/perfecting things that already exist.
The Gobie yacht is really coming together! You'll need a name for it. Keep the reports coming...

Pop rivets?  Since it could carry the full weight of a person bouncing in choppy water I'd worry enough to use nuts and bolts.

Once you go out and test it, you may come back with a list of adjustments and improvements. I do, about every 3 trips or so.
