Re: 2000 Carver 356 horn issues
1: Check that the small air lines are connected and not full of spider poo. If so, disconnect and clear them out. Very easy.
2: If still no horn, tune it. There are screws on the back of the horns bell. Remove and gently remove the reed (thin copper disc). Clean and spray with WD40. Don't not bend! Re-install and start slowly tightening the screws while someone simultaneously tries to honk it. You will hear it starting to make a noise until suddenly it starts to sing. Then do the other.
3: If this doesn't work, i have no clue. A friend at my marina told me this, I tried it and it worked.
VERY satisfying when you hear the BWAAAAHHH!!! I can barely keep myself from playing with it.
Good luck.

Re: 2000 Carver 356 horn issues
You can remove the 6 or 8 screws from the switch panel and tilt it front to check the switch, or you can voltage check at the horn if you have the same cheesy horn as me.
If it sat awhile as mine did, you may need to just clean the wasp nests out of it and spray some wd into the horns.
