Loud Hailer

    Has anyone ever installed a loud hailer on their boat, and if so, where did they put the loud speaker? My new VHF has that function, which I got primarily for the fog horn feature.

    Typically on the mast, facing forward and above the steaming light.

    Always late for the party...

    We have a Standard Horizon with AIS and loud hailer.; ours is mounted on our radar arch. Before the arch, our radar and hailer was mounted on the single pole on our stern for the radar.

    We are later than you, Rob. And we have the same radio set up except

    Konami has the loud hailer mounted to the lower rail of the bow pulpit.  the wire drops down into the chain locker and runs inside the boat under the removable panels near the bulwarks. John installed a bnc connector at both ends of the wire so we can store the hailer when not in use, which is most of the time.  ~Diane
