If you hear one prolonged blast from the horn of another vessel while operating a motorboat, it typically indicates that the other vessel is signaling its intention to overtake you on your starboard side. In response, you should maintain your course and speed, and be vigilant for any actions from the other vessel. Ensure you are aware of your surroundings and ready to take evasive action if necessary to avoid a collision. Always prioritize safety and follow navigation rules.

One prolonged blast from the horn of another vessel indicates reduced visibility (and the presence of that vehicle). The reduced visibility may be due to geography, such as a river with significant bends, or weather features, such as fog.
Stay out of the way! One prolonged blast is the whistle signal for a ship leaving a berth or in a blind bend in a channel.
In the maritime environment, it mean several things: 1. In restricted visibility it means the vessel is making way through the water. 2. A vessel approaching a blind bend in a river can sound one prolonged blast on the ships' whistle to alert any other vessels to its presence, if another vessel is nearby then they will respond with one prolonged blast on the ships' whistle.
