The manual says to oil the compressor once a year. I was told it is behind the breaker panel at the right ankle at the helm. I took it off but dont see any compressor. On my 330 SS it was on the port side behind the settee seat. Looks like a pop can. Any body seen it on the 31 ?

Yeah no, I can get almost constant blasts...something is up.
It might need oiled (if you can find it)
Or the horn might need taken apart and cleaned, the diaphragm gets wonky over the years and spiders like it as well.

How do you get to the compressor under the port side seat?
TF:
On a similar "note": I remember talking about the Kahlenbergs with you a couple years ago. Did you ever pull the trigger? Wondering if the air tube is the same size....or if it requires two....and if the compressor would fit. My current compressor is behind the helm circuit breakers as well. It's an upgrade I've pondered for a while. BTW, I noticed the system utilizes an oiless compressor....

Air Horn Compressor location for my 1999 Formula 27PC
Air Horn Compressor location for my 1999 Formula 27PC.
Called several Formula dealers and Formula themselves without success in locating it. Location is just in front of outside sink through a access panel behind the lounge seat on the port side.
To gain access, remove the lounge seat cushion by pressing it towards back rest and lifting up from the back rest end. Their are several screws holding the back rest located at the bottom of back rest only visible after removal of seat cushion. After removal of those screws lift back rest straight up off brackets and their is a round access hatch behind the cushion. (My rap around rear lounge seat cushion wouldn't fully come off due to several non-accessible screws) Horn compressor is just inside to the left (rear)
