For optimum performance, larger hulls will generally require more transducers and drive units than smaller ones.
In addition, hull construction and the material from which the hull is made play a significant role in determining the number of transducers required, due to the ease with which ultrasound signals are transmitted from the inside to the outside of the hull. In general, a fibre-glass or plastic hull will require significantly more transducers than a metal hull since it is a poorer conductor of sound. Also, a double skinned hull or one with a multi-layer construction will require more transducers and careful consideration of transducer placement during fitting.
In all circumstances, please seek advice from us prior to purchasing a product, and Efficient Sonics strongly recommend that the installation of the unit is undertaken by a certified distributor.
All of our products contain the sophisticated and unique Smart Tune Technology to ensure peak performance, and for further peace of mind, a Portable Ultrasonic Meter is available to check that your Smart Yacht is installed correctly and operating at its best.
