Favourites from the Boat Shows Gear & Gadgets Ultrasonics -excerpt taken from www.westcoastultrasonics.net


Ultrasonic Anti-fouling is a safe and environmentally friendly alternative to using bottom paint that keeps boat hulls clean and free from marine growth, such as algae. Cleaning and applying anti-fouling paint is costly, time consuming and more importantly, is toxic and unfriendly to the environment. The Ultrasonic System uses digital ultrasonic technology which emits sonic waves ranging from 19.08 to 41.66kHz in 14 bands with 200ns steps. When the control driver activates the ultrasonic transducers, which are attached to the inside of the hull, sonic waves/vibrations causes the hull to vibrate in tune with these pulses, making for a rather hostile and unpleasant environment for the marine growth. This acts as a barrier surrounding the hull and the running gear and these sonic waves, which are attenuated after about 10 metres through water, kill off the algae cells and make it difficult for other such organisms to attach. By preventing algae growth on the hull, other marine crustaceans such as barnacles, molluscs, and limpets do not attach to the hull or running gear as not only is their food chain non-existent but the changing frequencies act to crustaceans as unwanted marine predators.


Sealegs -excerpt taken from www.sealegs.com


The Sealegs system consists of motorized, retractable and steerable wheels which are fitted to specially designed boats to give users a fully integrated, turn-key package. The Sealegs system works by having powerful motorized wheels which give a user variable speed of 0-10km/h (forward and reverse) powered by an on-board 24hp Honda driven hydraulic power-pack. A Sealegs boat can be driven from a storage location, down a boat ramp or beach and into the water - all with the occupants staying in the boat and remaining completely dry! Once in the water, the Sealegs wheels are easily retracted into the “UP” position and are completely out of the water. The boat is then driven and used as normal. When approaching land, the Sealegs wheels are lowered into the “DOWN” position whilst still moving in the water. It is then simply a matter of trolling towards the beach and the Sealegs powerful motorized wheels touch the bottom and drive the boat up onto land. The occupants can then disembark, totally dry and safe. The Sealegs system utilizes all submersible components and is Fresh Water ready.
