Pete, The PO of the Enterprise put in an Octopus drive as part of a Robertson Autopilot system. The Octopus was alway quiet and ran perfectly (and I assume it still does - the Robertson "brain" started having problems).
A few months ago, through lister Fred Street, I purchased a Raymarine EV2 Evolution autopilot, which I will install this spring to work the Octopus drive. I had considered replacing the drive, but Octopus appears to have a stellar reputation, so I'm keeping it in place. All the best, Edd ------------------------------- Edd M.

Anyone have installation or use experience with the brand? At a recent boat show the only input I had was from competitors that stated the units are loud. Also, I made a quick search in my saved emails and did not find any previous references. Please forward if you have something. Thanks,
