Octopus Autopilot Type 1 Adjustable Reversing Piston Pump, 12V (Up to 18 CI)

Experience unparalleled steering precision and efficiency with the Octopus Autopilot Type 1 Adjustable Reversing Piston Pump. Engineered for superior performance, this 12V pump delivers more than double the hydraulic output per watt compared to standard gear pumps, while significantly reducing power consumption. Its patented piston technology ensures accurate ram positioning, providing sharper steering and minimizing unnecessary course corrections. Designed for reliability with only three moving parts and proudly developed by Octopus, a division of CMP Group with over 20 years of expertise in marine autopilot drives. Upgrade your vessel's autopilot system for a smoother, more responsive navigation experience.

Key Benefits & Features:

• Enhanced Power Efficiency: Delivers over twice the hydraulic output per watt of input compared to standard gear pumps, optimizing energy use.
• Reduced Power Consumption: Achieves up to half the power consumption due to precise ram positioning, reducing battery drain and wear on your system.
• Pinpoint Steering Accuracy: Eliminates the need for a Rudder Feedback unit in non-RFB pilot systems by maintaining exact rudder position.
• Customizable Performance: Adjustable flow rate (500cc - 1L/min) allows you to fine-tune ram speed for optimal vessel handling and reduced system strain.
• Simplified Maintenance: Integrated shut-off valves in the pump manifold facilitate easy servicing without requiring you to drain the entire steering system.
• Robust Construction: Features reliable piston pump technology with only three moving parts for long-lasting durability in demanding marine environments.

Compatibility:

• Designed for hydraulically steered boats with steering cylinders up to 18 cubic inches (CI).
• Operates on 12V DC systems with a maximum current draw of 19A and an average of 4-6A.
