Default new horn location

Any time I hit 1/4 tire depth water, my horn takes a drink and gets that wet horn muffled sound. I've adjusted the horn on the bracket (angled it up, down ect) but nothing works. I'm thinking about moving it to a new location, away from the front grill. It's the grill that takes the initial hit with water. Any one else gone through this and found a better solution?

I replaced mine with a dual-trumpet air-pump powered system. Mounted them behind the grille with the trumpet pointing down.

i had the same isue. i took it to the dealership and they replaced it. i had them mount it a bout a foot highter on the side. they didnt have any issue. of course they asked me how it got water in it. it was the wife on her first trail run and a 4 ft deep mud hole. i swore she played in it for 20 minutes. but she was happy.
