good horn location

I am not a big fan of cutting or drilling conspicuous locations. So I am wondering if anyone has tried mounting a compact horn unit inside one or both side panels. The ones under the gunwales mid boat - they cover the fuel inlet hose on one side and the lamp wires on the other. Seems to me that running wires to these locations would be easy. But I am wondering how effective this location be? Seems it might be louder inside the boat than out? My other idea was to mount a trumpet to one of the rails above the console.
