Answering my own question here - for the record. It would appear that the acu-100 is limited in the current it can deliver to a drive, and is therefore only recommended for the smallest types. I expect though, that this could be overcome by using the acu to operate relays of adequate ampacity. See below. http://forum.raymarine.com/printthread.php?tid=3585<https://nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fforum.raymarine.com%2Fprintthread.php%3Ftid%3D3585&data=02%7C01%7C%7C1929021336564d5df47008d748c16048%7C84df9e7fe9f640afb435aaaaaaaaaaaa%7C1%7C0%7C637057867681497128&sdata=YeaG3T%2FzxI2N2Yyb7On1Pw6%2FO1fg3omCUxKDW4%2Ba6QM%3D&reserved=0> Dave.

As I understand it the AC 100 is not compatible with the drive and I’ll have to go with the AC 100. Raymarine offered a modest discount with the trade in. As I remebmber it was $400 plus the old AC100. No idea about the Octopus drive.

Any suggestions as to a source for the tiller arm? Wondering if the acu-100 is compatible with the octopus type RS? Has anyone done this conversion? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
