Description
Remote Mechanical Interface and Compact Analysis
Restricted bilge space often makes post-mounted autopilot drives difficult to install on medium-displacement sailboats. The Octopus 7-Stroke Remote 38mm Linear Drive delivers 1000 pounds of thrust via a remote mechanical cable connection. This configuration allows the drive motor to be mounted in a dry, accessible location.
The unit features a 7-inch stroke length optimized for vessels up to 24,200 pounds displacement. Integration with 12V autopilot processors is managed through a high-current clutch circuit for safety. The remote cable assembly transmits torque directly to the rudder quadrant, providing the benefits of a linear drive in a space-saving package.
Strategic Vessel Application
Optimized for vessels up to 24,200 pounds requiring a linear drive but possessing restricted space near the rudder post.
