Eight ultrasonic transducers bond to the inside of your hull and keep growth off, no bottom paint, no divers, no thru-hulls. It runs on your 24V house bank and protects hulls up to 80 feet, plus drives, rudders, and stabilizers. Set it and forget it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"nvn-description\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBottom growth is one of those problems that never really goes away. You paint the hull, you dive it, you haul it, and a few months later the slime and barnacles are back, dragging your speed down and burning extra fuel. The BPS Marine PRO-8 takes a different route. It's an eight-transducer ultrasonic antifouling system that keeps growth from ever taking hold in the first place, and it does it without a drop of bottom paint or a single thru-hull.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHere's how it works. The eight transducers bond to the inside of your hull and send a multi-frequency ultrasonic sweep, running roughly 20 kHz to 42 kHz, out through the hull and into the thin layer of water against it. That sound energy does three things at once. It sets up tiny micro-currents right at the hull surface that stop biofilm from getting a grip. It creates controlled micro-bubbles that break down algae cells and spores before they can settle. And it scrambles the settlement behavior of barnacle and mussel larvae so they drift on and find somewhere else to live. No slime layer means nothing for the harder stuff to latch onto later.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe PRO-8 is built for bigger boats. Eight 60-watt transducers give you enough coverage for hulls up to 80 feet, and because you place them where you want, you're not just protecting the running surface. You can cover drives, rudders, and stabilizers too, the exact spots that are a pain to paint and a pain to clean. Each transducer comes with 15 feet of signal cable, and BPS throws in four extra 15-foot extension cables so you've got the reach to lay out a big engine room or a long hull without splicing. The whole network runs off the BPS-8 control module.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation stays inside the boat, which is the part people love. There are no holes to drill and nothing hanging in the water to snag or foul. The transducers mount directly to a clean, dry section of the hull interior with the two included epoxy kits, and the control module wires into your 24-volt house bank with a simple two-wire connection to the battery or distribution panel. Average draw is only about 2 amp-hours, so it sips power. Once it's in, it runs on its own, 24\/7, even sitting at the dock. There's no schedule to keep and nothing to re-apply every couple of seasons.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSo who's this really for? Owners who keep their boat in the water year-round and are tired of the haul-and-paint cycle. If you run a 50-foot twin-engine cruiser, the math gets interesting fast, since you're looking at saving on diver visits, bottom jobs, and the fuel you waste pushing a fouled hull. A cleaner bottom holds your speed and keeps your running gear working the way it should. And because the whole system is chemical-free, you're not putting biocide into the water every season. That matters more every year, and a lot of marinas and cruising grounds are starting to care about it too.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA couple of honest notes. This is a premium system for a serious boat, and it works best as prevention on a hull that starts clean, so plan to install it right after a haul-out or on a fresh bottom. It won't strip off growth that's already there. And while the install is well within reach of a handy owner, taking your time on transducer placement and getting good epoxy contact makes all the difference in coverage. If you're not sure how many transducers a given surface needs or where to put them, give us a call. We'll help you map out a layout before you order so the PRO-8 does everything it's supposed to.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"nvn-features\"\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e8 submersible ultrasonic transducers protect hulls up to 80 feet, including drives, rudders, and stabilizers\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e60W per transducer with a multi-frequency sweep from 20 kHz to 42 kHz that stops biofilm, algae, and larvae from settling\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eChemical-free antifouling, no bottom paint and no biocide released into the water\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eInternal hull mount with included epoxy, no thru-hulls to drill and nothing hanging in the water\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e15 ft of signal cable per transducer plus four extra 15 ft extension cables for long hulls and engine rooms\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBPS-8 control module wires into your 24V house bank with a simple two-wire connection\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLow average draw of about 2 Ah, runs continuously 24\/7 even sitting at the dock\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eZero scheduled maintenance, nothing to re-apply every couple of seasons\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"nvn-trust\"\u003e\n  \u003ch2\u003eWhy Buy from NVN Marine\u003c\/h2\u003e\n  \u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eAuthorized BPS Marine reseller, full manufacturer warranty\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eNMEA member and ABYC certified, advice from real boat techs\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eSame-day shipping before 3 PM ET on in-stock items\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eNY headquarters and Fort Lauderdale flagship retail store\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"nvn-faq\"\u003e\n  \u003cdetails\u003e\n    \u003csummary\u003eHow big a boat will the PRO-8 protect?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eIt's an eight-transducer system rated for hulls up to 80 feet.
