Stebel Nautilus. 1.5 years Active Duty. NYC Taxi War Vetern. RIP

Stebel has a 2 year warranty on it, but i cant find a receipt ( though i probably have CC records) but im thinking mine died from abuse.... and i cant find stebels manufacture contact information.


How long did yours last? Mine must of seen atleast 3 momments where i held onto the horn for about 2 minutes straight. Mostly casue some Brian Wbag decided to park in a no standing due to rush hour traffic zone and then zap on your cell.

cheap replacements? possibly louder?

how about AROGAAHHHHHH

I don't have long term experience with the Stebel - I've had mine for a couple of months

Stebel recommends intallation with the supplied relay - if you didn't use the relay your horn switch may be fried

Stebel also recommends that the horn should be installed within 15 degrees from vertical - if not the compressor will not last very long

Check the relay and wiring connections - check the air intake port on the horn - sometimes insects and other crap gets sucked in

Ha, ok that is funny/awesome that hte horn can suck up bugs...

If i didnt have a relay, it wouldnt of stood up to 2 minute onslaughts  . Fuse and relay in line. it also sits directly vertical.

thing is just fried. i hooked it up to my batt and it just goes wrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr and rumbles. doesnt look like theres anything in it. hooked up the stock horn. i feel helpess on the streets.

Why not buy another Stebel? Or the Wolo Bad Boy since it's a little cheaper?

i am, im just exploring louder options. $40 bucks was  good price (shipped) though i want to try and see if i can get it warrantied since its within their 2 year warranty. i just cant find any contact info on them.

Louder options? For the size, there aren't any...

I want the ooga horn on my bike as a second horn.. that thing is big though, no where to hide it

FWIW, I've seen on more than one Stebel thread on various motorcycle forums that the original Stebel relay is crap an folks have had better luck with a comparable Bosch relay.

i've read somewhere that the wolo bad boy (sold on harbor freight) is made by the same manufacturers as the stebel.  i went with the dual trumpets in your first post.  i too live in fear in tri-state.  too many soccer moms in bergen county and surrounding areas. and +1 for picking up a bosch relay.

I'm thinking you could use brake line instead of airline and make that setup disappear better...

noted!  thanks.  you're probably right.  i'm just lazy.  ha.
