Ultrasonic Anti-Fouling Unit for Boats - Marine growth on the hull is the bane of all boat owners.  Left unchecked, marine growth slows the boat down considerably and if it's a power boat, leads to large increases in fuel consumption.  If it's a yacht, marine growth will also slow it down and make it less manoeuvrable, to the point where it becomes very sluggish.  The cure is to haul the boat out of the water every year and water-blast and scrape away all the growth and then coat the hull in toxic anti-fouling paint.__ SiliconChip
