Any means that works is legal I suspect... but your ability to avoid a collision is far better if you are seen, and heard, unless you can go where the on coming vessel cannot. Five blasts? Would not three be a legal method of signaling if need be... if you gave only three... .or one, that is a far cry better than none.... no matter what the law... Being seen and heard empowers the other guy to be more able to do his part also... They are quite audible... whether the other boater takes heed is always the unknown part of the equation....
