Ultrasonic antifouling?

As I consider the spec / options for my new amel 50, I’m curious what folks think of this tech? Does it work? Downsides? Power draw? Opinions?

Thank you in advance!

Eep! Apologies- will do. I’m guessing I’ve stepped into somethings that’s religion based non”let the fireworks begin”..

I’ll go pop some popcorn and find the thread. 🙏🏼

Re: Ultrasonic antifouling?

I think the big problem is just that it mostly doesn’t work. We all wish it did.
