Hi Dave
I got a reply from Genco Marine on cost for the octopus unit, the ACU 200 and a
rudder position sensor. Would be interested if you’re exploring a tiller arm
alternative. There are some machine shops around here, but I don’t have any
real good contacts yet.

Joe, great summary of the issues, thanks.
This is consistent with much of the information I've received so far.
* The RS drive is electric, and requires 7A - less than most hydraulic

Hello Dave
I am following with interest as you work through this, I also have the 33/2 and
the EV100 wheel, which I am NOT happy with. It doesn’t steer in less than ideal
conditions and has taken to skipping recently, at very least I need to tear the
drive apart and see what’s going on. Last win

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 ampacit

Hello all,
While I might get roundly criticized for this, we had an old hydraulic
autopilot that had died and needed to be replaced. I think it might have been
a Navtech. It was connected to an Octopus hydraulic ram, and it had a small
control box mounted on the ram itself. I was told by Octo
