INstallINg a sONIhull sYsteM

Congratulations on your purchase of the Sonihull ultrasonic antifouling system. This manual 
will help you go through the simple steps of installing either the Sonihull Mono or Sonihull 
Duo systems, or multiples thereof depending on the size of your yacht.

The  Sonihull  is  suitable  for  fiberglass,  aluminum,  steel  and  cement  hulls,  where  the 
transducer can be bonded to the inside of the outer skin of the hull. If your yacht is a sandwich 
construction we strongly recommend using the services of a professional marine engineer, 
as the outer skin will involve cutting through the inner skin and removing some of the inner 
core filling to expose the inside surface of the hull.

Please note that the Sonihull system is not suitable for wooden boats due to the poor 
transmission of the high frequencies through wood.

For concrete hulls to achieve the best result it is recommended that you double the number of 
transducers required compared to the illustrations in this manual to achieve the best results.

IMPORTANT SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS

It is highly recommended that the electrical installation of this system is installed only by a 
competent marine electrician.

When mounting the control box please find a suitable dry position above the water line.

Connect all AC connections in accordance with IEC wiring regulations, ensuring the correct 
plug and socket are used, or directly to a 5 amp breaker.

Color codes for main cable provided Brown = positive Blue = negative. If connected to DC 
supply please ensure that an inline 5 amp fuse is used.
