Description
Select as many transducers are you require (and control boxes if needed too).
Designed & manufactured to military specifications.
Remember we provide a free virtual survey, and help now and forever. Just contact us.
The transducer is powered and driven by a control box. The transducer creates the ultrasound on the underwater surfaces which it is in contact with. Each transducer is connected by cable to the control box.
We supply either a 5 metres or 10 metres (default) cable as you wish. Each cable may be up to 30 metres from the control box. The cable is what is recognised as satelite dish coaxial cable with RG59A connectors; and therefore is readily made by customer’s to exact lengths.
The transducer must be placed with firm bond to the interior surface of the hull at the suitable position. Check our detailed page Ultrasonic Antifouling Systems.

Installation
Pre-installation:
Ensure the outside hull is clean and clear of bio-fouling. Ultrasonic antifouling is a subtle process which will not clean an already fouled hull. It is designed to keep a hull clean.
Safety:
Exercise caution when working on the vessel, especially in confined spaces or when working near the bottom or “bilge” area of the boat.
Make sure the work area is properly ventilated prior to beginning installation due to the solvent used in the glue, but also these areas may contain residual fuel or fumes that can be harmful when inhaled.
Extreme vigilance should be used in these spaces especially when working alone.
A basic understanding of drilling, sanding and the vessel’s electrical system are needed for the installation work required.
Installation:
Self install in minutes. Decide the location of the transducer(s), and control box. Ask us for a free design survey if you wish.
Positioning:
These measurements are a guide only, but the surrounding structures in the vessel will determine the final position.
A reasonably flat solid area of the hull should be chosen and the surface should be well prepared before mounting (see preparation and mounting instructions).
Only glass fibre, aluminium or steel hulls are suitable.
Stainless studs shown in picture can be supplied for welding to water and oil tanks to help in the installation of the transducer.
Transducers should be fitted approximately 30cms off the centre line.
On power craft under 10m in length, the transducer should be positioned in the close proximity of the propeller and shaft to help protect these isolated parts.
For stern drive units, transducers should also be approximately 10 to 13cms forward of the transom.
Ultrasonic Antifouling SystemsRecommended glue:
Isopon P38, Devcon or similar epoxy resin which are readily available from local stores or often already held by boat owners.
For example (on Amazon and other online retailers):
- Devcon 14ml 2 Ton Epoxy Flow-Mix (Syringe, Carded) Glue, or
- Devcon 22045 Plastic Welder – 25 ml Dev-Tube
(We don’t include this normally since it is so commonly held by boat owners, and adds to the shipping costs.)
