Does anyone know of the amp draw of the stock horn on the RT? - 2012 RT

Does anyone know of the amp draw of the stock horn on the RT (998)?

I have a set of WOLO Maxi-Sound horns and they only draw 7amps. Just wondered if I have to install a relay or not.

Best to install a relay driven from the OEM horn power and run the Wolo power directly to the battery thru a fuse.

The Operator's Guide for my 2024 Spyder RT Sea2Sky shows the Horn fuse as being 15A.

What Ray said. The horn for the 2012 is powered by F8. But, F8 also powers all electrical loads downstream of the load shedding relay once the engine starts. So, hitting that circuit with an additional 7 amps might not be the best. I thought there might have been a relay kit someplace that somebody came up with, but no joy finding it. So, if you really want that horn, a horn relay, just like most vehicles, is the way to go.

Yeah I have installed a lot of horns and a lot of horn relays. I will install the relay but it will be on a day that I am really bored.
