Other Marine Antifouling Considerations for Powerboats and Motor Yachts

Although the key consideration for selecting an ultrasonic antifouling system for your boat is generally based on the boats length, another to consider is the climate where the boat is berthed and if it is single or twin drive / shaft.  In warmer or tropical waters, growth rates can be much higher causing greater levels of fouling to attach to your hull and stern gear compared to that found in the cooler waters of the UK and Northern Europe for example. 

Therefore, on power boats and motor yachts that have two reasonably sized sets of stern gear isolated from the hull, these would benefit more by having two transducers positioned at the stern with one in the area above each propeller or in the case of stern drives, close to the transom and drives.  Then for boats over 10m in length, an additional transducer should be fitted approximately one third of the way back from the bow or just behind the bow thruster.

We do request if your boat length is 20m or more to make enquiries with us directly for our recommendations as there are more factors to consider, with larger hull surface areas, stabilizers and even seawater intakes for Sea Chest Piping Systems. We take marine antifouing seriously and you can rely on our expertise.
