Ultrasonic Antifouling Install Part3

  • 10 years ago
Part 3 - Install of ultrasonic system in a 2005 Four Winns 210 Horizon. This setup will annoy algae enough that it doesn't grow on the hull and consequently weeds and barnacles won't like it either. System runs on 12vdc. I've added shore power and a 12V 12A charger to keep the batteries topped up. It runs off the spare rear battery. Using a simple programmable digital 12vdc timer to turn on the ultrasonic system 4am-11pm. Doesn't need to be run in the dark. A separate 120vac timer turns the charger off/then on 3 times a day to reset the charger so it doesn't go into sleep mode depleting the battery.

Stay tuned for Part 4 with underwater camera video which I'll be taking every 1-2 weeks to document the system performance.
