Default 12v horn

I'm new to owning a Maxum boat but my horn stopped working on my 1998 Maxum 3200scr. I've read the horn is located on the arch on this boat as well as in other locations. Has anyone had experience replacing the horn? What the best replacement horn? The horn rocker switch shows power so I assume the horn is bad or a connection at the horn is defected.

My 3300 has a dual horn on the radar arch. If yours is there you won't miss seeing it, it's bolted to the top, fairly large, and obviously a horn assembly (2 x ~ foot long bugle looking things mounted to stainless sheet metal bracket and screwed in to the top of the arch). In fact when I had the boat moved over the summer, I had to remove it temporarily and reinstall it at its destination. Check the wiring to it inside the arch to make sure the power is getting to it. Mine had connections inside the arch that I re-did when I reassembled. The connections I replaced were automotive crimp connectors ... not marine worthy.

These horns were located in a few places depending on year.

On top of the arch

On the side of the arch

(Both of these will be very obvious. Can't miss a 10" trumpet (or set of trumpets)).

The other location is internal in the bow. Locate what looks like an oval vent near the bow. You should be able to access it either by removing the cover, or internally in the anchor locker.
