Octopus Autopilot Drives - 1000cc/min Reversing Piston Pump - 12Vdc

Advanced Piston Pump Technology for Precise Autopilot Control

The Octopus Autopilot Drives 1000cc/min Reversing Piston Pump 12Vdc is engineered for superior hydraulic performance in marine applications. Utilizing a patented piston pump design with only three moving parts, it delivers exceptional reliability and efficiency. Unlike conventional hydraulic gear pumps that suffer from internal leakage, the piston pump precisely positions the rudder, resulting in sharper steering and reduced power consumption. This means fewer course corrections, enhancing overall autopilot efficiency and extending battery life.

Exceptional Power and Efficiency

This piston pump is designed to outperform standard gear pumps, providing more than twice the hydraulic output per watt of input. The efficient ram positioning minimizes energy waste, leading to power savings of up to 50%. Its adjustable flow rate ensures compatibility with various vessel requirements, allowing boat owners to fine-tune performance to their specific needs.

Simplified Installation and Maintenance

The Octopus Autopilot Drives pump is built with convenience in mind. Unlike traditional systems that require a Rudder Feedback unit to compensate for gear leakage, this piston pump maintains accurate ram positioning, eliminating the need for additional components. This significantly simplifies the installation process. Furthermore, integrated shut-off valves allow for easy servicing without the need to drain the steering system, making maintenance hassle-free.

Quality Boat Parts is a reseller. Many items include a manufacturer’s warranty, and all warranty service is handled directly by the manufacturer. We do not manage or administer warranty claims on behalf of customers.

Warranty terms, coverage, and duration are set by each manufacturer. Issues involving defects, repairs, or replacements must be addressed with the manufacturer’s support team. When available, the warranty period is listed on the product page. If it is not shown, contact us or the manufacturer for details before purchasing.

To start a claim, the customer must contact the manufacturer and follow their process. Keep your proof of purchase and original packaging, and register the product if the manufacturer requires it, as these are often needed for warranty service.
