Yes it's Dutch and I read it for you. It is a magazine clipping telling the story of a guy who experimented with the system. Scientific content is next to nothing, translation would just waste my time.

Numerous posts on this forum have been written about stray current damaging props, shafts and hulls. And now these guys want you to "invest" $1000 in a black box and two anodes that you are supposed to hang in the water.

Use paint. It doesn't work nearly as good as the sellers want you to believe, but at least it doesn't dissolve your boat.

Drydock.

BrightSpark seems to work fine and not only for recreational boating.
I've meet with the guys at METS.
Investing around 1300 euros (one set plus two spare anodes) is said to protect against fouling a 15 m boat for three years, thus saving an interesting sum of money in drydocking and paint, if statement is truth.
I've ordered one set and I'm going to try it in my boat. I'll post here whatever results from the test.
Cheers.

That wasn't meant to be a scarcastic remark. Do you just have some sort of problem with some of my submissions to this forum??...or maybe you just carry around this 'attitude' ??

Or maybe BOTH Brian!
