I took mine old ones apart and cleaned the metal diaphrams and they worked ok for a short time but eventually I did replace them. no more chicken squawking.

I also had a problem with mine. It was mounted on the deck and the diaphram would get damp and not work. I took it apart and cleaned the diaphram. Then I mounted the horn "aimed down" on the front of the flybridge. Since moving the horn, I've had no problems. The little 12 volt compressor also needs to be oiled every 3 to 4 months. There should be a small tag on it referring to that fact.
