Description
Piston Drive and Medium Volume Analysis
Standard gear pumps often generate excessive heat and noise when driving medium-capacity hydraulic steering cylinders. The Octopus Reversing Pump 1200CC utilizes a high-efficiency piston design to deliver 1.2 liters per minute. This unit minimizes thermal drift during operation.
Integration requires a 12V DC circuit with a maximum current capacity of 12 amps. The pump is designed to support hydraulic cylinders up to 22 cubic inches with consistent pressure. Robust internal seals meet maritime standards for protection against high-pressure fluid bypass.
Strategic Vessel Application
Essential for vessels with steering cylinders between 12 and 22 cubic inches requiring quiet operation.
Technical Key Features
- Piston drive delivers 1200cc per minute flow
- Supports steering cylinders up to 22 inches
- 12V DC motor draws 12 amps maximum
- Internal seals prevent high pressure fluid bypass
- Precision machined components reduce operational vibration noise
- Reversing valve architecture enables bidirectional steering control
- Factory tested to withstand 1000 PSI bursts

Octopus 1200cc Reversing Pump Technical Guide
This Octopus Reversing Pump delivers a fixed flow rate of 1200cc per minute, making it suitable for hydraulic cylinders up to 22 cubic inches. It is a robust, high-performance unit designed for vessels that require rapid steering response, such as twin-engine outboards or heavy displacement sailing yachts.
The motor is designed with high-density copper windings and precision brushes to provide maximum torque with minimal heat buildup. This allows the pump to operate continuously for long periods during ocean crossings without triggering thermal protection on the course computer. The permanent magnet design ensures reliable reversing polarity.
Under typical steering loads, this pump draws between 6-12 Amps. It requires a 25A to 30A fuse or circuit breaker. Because of the 1200cc flow rate, the motor generates significant back-EMF; ensure your course computer (like the NAC-3 or ACU-200) is rated for this current class to avoid hardware damage.
The pump features standard 1/4 inch NPT ports. It is essential to use O-ring boss adapters if connecting to modern hydraulic hoses. Mounting the pump on a rubber vibration-isolation pad will significantly reduce the noise transmitted through the hull, providing a quieter experience at the helm during autopilot operation.
Yes, it can be integrated into dual-helm hydraulic circuits. Ensure that a proper check-valve system is in place (usually built into the helm pumps) to prevent the autopilot pump from spinning the upper steering wheel instead of moving the rudder. A properly installed 1200cc pump will provide effortless control from either station.
