Marine Supply in Cordova, AK?

[Daniel A. Dobbs]

I'm planning a trip to Alaska, deep in Bear country, and I'm in need
of airhorn refill cartriges (we use airhorns to repel bears). Because
we are flying into Cordova and because you can't take such things on
commercial airplanes, we were hoping to pick them up there. Any
help with names of places where I could find these (like Marine
supply stores in town or maybe in Anchorage) would be greatly
appreciated.

A friend of mine has one of those hand pumped air horns. They are
every bit as loud as the gas ones. But you do have to pump them up
rather often. You get a few good blasts, then you need to do some
pumping.
