Ted:
I've gone to the site myself, and I've tripled check the address I posted.
It's at
                www.barnaclean.com
Their phone number is 1-800-716-5547. They put small tansducers inside the
hull (just like your depth finder) that draw 12v 30mA each. Each transducer
covers 10 feet (according to them) and prevents barnacles from attaching to
the hull. The offer a one year money back guarantee. If this prevents
barnacle growth, a reasonable person would assume this may eliminate or
reduce the need for bottom paint.
>From looking at it, it appears to turn the boat hull into one large
ultrasonic transducer.
Several months ago I did post a message questioning whether such a device
did exist. I finally found it. My crazy ideas may sound like jokes to some,
but 99.9% of the time I'm serious. A few ideas fall flat, alot have already
been done but are obscure in practice, and a small few are original. Keeps
you from getting old.

Best wishes,
