Description
BPS-6 Ultrasonic Antifouling System 65ft | Boat Supply Store
Prevent significant marine growth on vessels up to 65ft with this comprehensive, chemical-free ultrasonic antifouling system. Utilizing six transducers, it effectively safeguards complex underwater structures like drives and rudders by emitting a multi-frequency ultrasonic sweep algorithm (20kHz-42kHz). This system promotes enhanced fuel efficiency by reducing hull drag and extends the service life of bottom paints, thereby decreasing the frequency of costly haul-outs. Operation is supported by a 12VDC or 24VDC power source with a 1.5Ah average power draw.
Key Features
- Comprehensive protection for hulls up to 65ft.
- Eco-friendly with a 100% chemical-free operation.
- Enhanced fuel efficiency due to reduced hull drag.
- Extended bottom paint life and reduced haul-out needs.
- Targeted protection for drives, rudders, and sea strainers.
- No through-hull installations required, simplifying fitment.
- Safe operation for all marine life and human contact.
- Zero scheduled maintenance for long-term convenience.
