I agree that battery sounds weak. Or corroded connections. That being said my horn wouldn't sound with anything else running like a sonar or pumps. But as I serviced my battery's water level I cleaned and replaced some connections and low and behold now with everything running I still have a horn that does work.

I do run a 5th battery in my boat with a 2 bank charger for accessories and my starter battery, 3 bank on trolling batteries.

My dads boat had a over charging issue so we ran a switch to his trolling battery for while running around to absorb more current. Works fine but it isn't something that we remembered all the time and could have switched it stopped running and then killed the starting battery just as easy while trolling. Not a good fix.
