BPS-4 4-Transducer Ultrasonic Antifouling System - 12VDC
The BPS-4 is a four-transducer system that can add antifouling protection to hulls, drives, rudders, stabilizers, and more. This single system can provide ultrasonic antifouling protection for hulls up to 50ft in length or can be combined with additional systems for larger vessels. The BPS-4 can also be tasked with protecting drives and rudders.
The BPS-4 Package Includes:
- 1x BPS-4 Control Module with Integrated Power Cable
- 4x Submersible Ultrasonic Transducers with 15ft of Cable
- 2x Additional 15ft Extension Cables
- 1x Epoxy Kit
- 1x Printed Installation and Operation Manual
Specifications:
- Voltage: 12V or 24V DC
- Average Power Draw: 1Ah
- Transducer Strength: 60W
- Cable Length: 15ft per transducer
- Frequency: Multi-frequency ultrasonic sweep algorithm (20kHz-42kHz)
Installation Overview:
- No Thru-Hulls: The transducers are installed directly on top of your hull surface using the provided epoxy.
- Install Signal Cable: Each transducer has 15ft of connected signal cable. This ensures an easy installation from the transducer to the controller.
- Mounting the Controller: The BPS-1 Controller runs off of your boats existing house battery. It is a simple 2-wire connection the the battery bank or distribution panel.
- Enjoy Worry-Free Boating: Thats it! Your BPS system is done! Let our advanced antifouling protection do its job. Each system is programmed with a multi-frequency sweeping algorithm to ensure that your boat has the best antifouling protection on the market.
How the Technology Works:
- The Mechanism: The system emits high-frequency ultrasonic waves through the hull drives, creating a microscopic barrier of resonance.
- Targeting the Root Cause: These ultrasound waves repel biofouling from attaching to your hull before they ever have the chance to attach.
- Eco-Friendly: 100% chemical-free. It does not leach pollutants into the water, making it safe for marinas with strict environmental regulations.
- Marine Life Safe: The frequencies used are outside the hearing range of marine mammals and humans.
Benefits:
- Fuel Efficiency: A clean hull creates less drag. Maintaining hull smoothness ensures you get the best possible MPG and top speed.
- Reduced Maintenance Costs: Significantly extends the life of your bottom paint and reduces the frequency of expensive haul-outs.
- Diver Savings: Reduces the need for monthly hull cleaning services.
- Hard-to-Reach Protection: Unlike paint, ultrasonic waves resonate through complex parts that are difficult to paint and clean, such as stern drives, sea strainers, and rudders.
- Fit Forget: Once installed, the system runs automatically with zero scheduled maintenance required.

The BPS Marine BPS-4 is a highly effective ultrasonic antifouling system designed to protect boat hulls, drives, rudders, and stabilizers from biofouling. This four-transducer system is suitable for vessels up to 50 feet in length and can be combined with additional units for larger boats. It provides a chemical-free, eco-friendly solution that emits multi-frequency ultrasonic waves to create a microscopic resonance barrier, preventing marine growth before it attaches to your hull. Installation is straightforward, with transducers mounted directly on the hull using provided epoxy, eliminating the need for through-hulls. Each transducer is connected via 15-foot cables, facilitating flexible placement, while the control module connects easily to your boat’s existing 12V or 24V DC power supply. Once installed, the system operates automatically, requiring no scheduled maintenance, and ensures consistent antifouling protection during your boating adventures.
The system’s ultrasonic technology targets the root cause of biofouling by emitting high-frequency waves that repel marine organisms before they can adhere to your boat, thereby reducing maintenance costs and prolonging the life of bottom paint. Its eco-friendly design makes it safe for marine life and compliant with environmental regulations, as it does not leach pollutants into the water. The frequencies used are outside the hearing range of marine mammals and humans, ensuring safe operation. The BPS-4 enhances fuel efficiency by maintaining a smooth hull surface, reducing drag, and increasing your boat’s top speed. It also minimizes the need for frequent hull cleaning and haul-outs, saving you time and money. Its design effectively reaches complex parts such as stern drives, sea strainers, and rudders that are difficult to paint and clean.
The package includes a control module with an integrated power cable, four ultrasonic transducers with 15-foot cables, two extension cables, an epoxy kit, and a detailed installation and operation manual. With a low power draw of just 1 amp, this system is an energy-efficient addition to your vessel. The advanced multi-frequency sweeping algorithm ensures optimal antifouling protection, making the BPS Marine BPS-4 a reliable and maintenance-free solution for boat owners seeking a sustainable and effective antifouling method.
