Just the beginning

We have been plagued with birds on our boats while on docks or moorings for quite some time. We know there are thousands of other people in the same situation.

We tested a single sprayer system last year, and are coming out with a new, robust, dual sprayer system for this year.

Benefits: Completely green. It uses a solar panel to charge two deep cycle batteries that run the water pump, controller/monitor hardware, and the sprayers themselves.

We should have the working prototype on the mooring dock at New England Marine within the next two weeks. Pictures will be added to show the system. We are taking a tiered approach to the control and monitoring, starting out basic and refining features, then expanding to more robust monitoring and control.

We would LOVE to hear your comments and questions below.
