FogMate is an electronic controller for a power or sailboat's navigational horn. It is enclosed in a small footprint, weatherproof, easy-to-install package. FogMate automatically controls a horn to sound COLREGS* blast cadences for operating in conditions of limited visibility on a two minute cycle or in a distress (SOS) signaling mode.
