Imported and Distributed throughout Australia by Marine Solutions, the innovative Gullsweep® bird scarer is a cost-effective and convenient means of ridding your boat of sea birds and their messy deposits!

The unobtrusive and effective Gullsweep® acts as a deterrent which makes gulls uncomfortable enough to select another roosting site. As birds are always alert to their predators, Gullsweep® creates an unknown fear that the moving object represents a potential danger, and so, unwelcome airborne guests move on to settle (and soil) elsewhere. The unit deters all marine birds, eliminates cleaning time and unsightly stains, and simply makes the boating experience more enjoyable. The Gullsweep® is very easy to install, doesn’t require onboard power, works while you’re away, and folds in half and stows away quickly when you want to get underway.

Fishing/boating/media identity Rex Hunt is one of many satisfied Marine Solutions customers to use Gullsweep®. In the time he has had them installed on his boat he has been more than satisfied with the results. “Gullsweep has reduced my seagull droppings problem by 90%... now combined with artificial snakes on the deck my problem is minimal,” he said.

The Gullsweep® sweeps a full 1.8m (6’) diameter and intimidates birds with each movement. Depending on the size of the vessel, a second or third unit may be required for full boat coverage.

		Rail Mount - GS-RM Takes seconds to put in place and seconds to remove. Then store when your boat is running. Place vice clamp over railing & tighten so it is vertical to the rail. (Option, put tape around rail before mounting to indicate where GS-RM should be mounted, and also to protect the rail.) Adjust centre support pin to be vertical to the water & tighten adjustment nut. Place your Gullsweep on the support pin, adust, if not level.
		Canopy Mount - GS-7 Best for boats with canvas or nylon top. Unclip one half of the forward edge along the windshield. This makes it possible to mount from within cockpit. Screw the bearing pin into hex coupling. With the base centered over middle bow, with holes fore and aft, outline the base with a pencil and mark position. With sharp instrument make 2 holes in the marked positions just large enough to insert U-bolt. Insert U-bolt from below, place washer onto U-bolt and tighten lock nuts.
		Flex Sand Mount - GSFM, Soft Mount - GSSM Designed for those situations over canvas where one does not want to put a hole in the canvas to locate Gullsweep. The GS-FM is able to be pulled into location and tied down using rope loops, without a lot of rope pressure on the canopy or bimini top. Weight 3 lbs. The base is filled with sand which shapes easily over any irregular canvas support members. The important point is to be sure the Gullsweep center support pin is vertical to the water.
		Retainer Kit - GSRK For those applications when a Gullsweep® could fall off of a non permanent mounting — i.e., GS-FM pulled from a canopy might turn sideways and the Gullsweep® could slide off the center mounting pin and go over board. Unfortunately, Gullsweeps® do not float. Simple to install and will take the worry out of the situation. Model GS-RK is made up of 4 pieces; SS Bracket, Shrink Tube, Grommet and O-ring. Slide shrink tubing over lower portion of center hub. Then, insert straight section of stainless steel bracket between hub and shrink tubing so bend is just above bottom of hub. Apply heat from a hair dryer while turning to shrink tubing tight to hub and bracket. Let cool. (A candle can also be used but do not over heat or let flame touch hub or shrink tube). Next, push Grommet over center support pin, Wide end first down to 3" from the tip (pointed end). Then slide o-ring to top of grommet to further secure. Slide Hub onto pin and gently pull SS bracket over grommet. Adjust grommet and o-ring position so there Is 1/8” or more clearance above and below grommet. Hub and SS bracket must not touch center pin or retaining ring.
