So I thought I'd get some extra input on what to do here. I have an extra button on my dash, and I can't decide what to do with it. it is the kind where once you let go, whatever you are activating will stop, like a car horn. I thought about installing a horn for fun, but on an 18' boat...not so much. Any cool ideas? I would love to but something unique and fun on there, so please, let me know your ideas!!!

Why not the horn? You need one to be legal in the states (NC and VA) I boat in any way, and a dash horn is better than an airhorn.

Re: Extra Button

I agree with the horn idea, the smaller the boat the more you could use it, I would think.

I also agree with the horn idea but with a twist. Make it a theme horn, the movie Caddy Shack comes to mind.

I like the whistleing dixie idea, or what's the other on a wolf whistle, or fox call or something like that.

My personal choice would be a 130db air horn, or even better an aaaaaoooogggggaaaaa!!!!!! Horn.

There really isn't anything else I can think that you could want to put on an momentary switch.
