Hull Shield HD4 Ultrasonic Antifouling System is a four-transducer, 12VDC system for hulls, drives, rudders, stabilizers and other compatible underwater structures. Manufacturer guidance states that one HD4 can protect a suitable hull up to 50 feet long, while each transducer provides approximately 200 square feet of hull coverage.

The package includes an HD4 control module, four submersible transducers with 15-foot attached cables, two additional 15-foot extensions, epoxy and an installation manual. Correct transducer placement, direct bonding to a compatible surface and continuous battery access are essential for effective operation.

Hull Shield HD4 ultrasonic antifouling system with four transducers protecting a boat hull and running gear, including propellers and rudders, with targeted ultrasonic coverage.

Four-Transducer Protection for Hull and Running Gear

The HD4 controller operates up to four ultrasonic emitters, allowing coverage to be assigned to a compatible hull or to isolated components such as drives and rudders.

Plan every transducer location before installation. Isolated running-gear components generally require dedicated transducers because mounts, seals and gaskets can block ultrasound transmission from the hull.

Confirm HD4 Coverage Before Installation

Choose the HD4 by underwater surface area and the number of isolated components requiring dedicated emitters. A single system may cover a compatible hull up to 50 feet, or its four channels can be allocated to suitable drives and rudders.

Hull Shield HD4 System FAQs

How many transducers are included with the Hull Shield HD4?
The complete system includes four submersible ultrasonic transducers, each with 15 feet of attached cable, plus two additional 15-foot extension cables.
What size hull can one HD4 protect?
Manufacturer guidance lists suitable hulls up to 50 feet and approximately 200 square feet per transducer. Final coverage depends on underwater area, hull structure and placement.
Can the HD4 protect drives and rudders?
Yes. Four channels can be assigned to compatible isolated components; manufacturer examples include two drives and two rudders. Each isolated component generally needs its own transducer.
What voltage does the HD4 use?
HD-series controllers operate on 12VDC systems with a maximum input of 18V. Contact the manufacturer before using an alternate 24V arrangement.
Will the system remove existing marine growth?
No. Existing fouling must be removed. The system is intended to reduce new attachment after correct installation and cleaning.
Can it replace bottom paint?
Hull Shield states that the system works best with suitable ablative bottom paint. Confirm the complete antifouling plan for the vessel and operating environment.
