New Products From Mooring Systems, Inc.

Ellipsoid Shaped ADCP Buoys & Floats

Mooring Systems now offers an ellipsoid shaped ADCP buoy.

This lower drag buoy option is a new addition to our line of ADCP buoys and syntactic mooring floats.

Low cost shallow water versions are available with internal plastic floats.

For more information, visit the subsurface buoyancy page.

Ellipsoid Shaped Pop-Up Buoy

We now offer a direct replacement float for the Benthos 875-PUB and will also fit the new 875-TD/TE.

This direct replacement increases the net buoyancy of the buoy and acoustic release housing assembly to 18 lbs. (8 kg).

For more information, see our ellipsoid buoys section.

Diver Serviceable Bottom Mount

A new diver serviceable trawl resistant bottom mount is now available.

This new variant of our standard MTRBM has a removable top plate to allow both the ADCP and external battery housing with all interconnecting cables to be lifted to the surface as a complete assembly.

Servicing is made easy for divers with quick release pins that are easy to reach.

MTRBM Upgrade Kits

With over a decade of experience manufacturing trawl resistant bottom mounts, Mooring Systems has made many improvements over the years.

Recent changes include the following kits available for upgrading your MTRBM:

1. Cover Mounting Bracket Kit - This set of 4 stainless angle brackets secure to the base of the MTRBM.

The cover can then be lowered on to the angle brackets for ease in securing the remaining bolts.

2. Center Lifting Post - By using a center lifting post and locating all ballast below the center lift point, the deployment and recovery is very stable, eliminating the need for special lifting bridles.

If you have any questions, feel free to contact us.
