Five short horn blasts from another boat on the water usually means danger. It could mean they have doubt in the message they had received from you, whether they did not hear it or did not understand. It can also be used to signal that the boat driver is confused about who has the right away. It is a signal to alert another vessel that you are unsure of its intentions, or doubt whether you are taking enough action to avoid a collision.
When two boats approach each other, they use horn blasts to signal the other about their intentions when it comes to moving to avoid collision. 5 short blasts indicates that the signaling boat is unsure about what the other boat is doing.

Five short blasts on a boat horn typically signal danger or uncertainty about another vessel's intentions, especially in situations where visibility is poor. It is a warning to others that the vessel may be operating in an unsafe manner or that the operator is unsure of the other boat's actions. This signal is part of the International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea (COLREGs) to enhance maritime safety.
