Octopus Simrad Adapter kit

Replacing a Simrad pump with an Octopus pump is now easier and economical with this adapter fitting kit.

The male end of the fitting is 1?4 NPT which connects to the Octopus pump manifold. The female end accepts a 7/ 16 in-20 UNF fitting which is used standard on all Simrad pumps from January 1999.

Three fittings are supplied in each kit.

Piston Pump 12Vdc

• Reliable - Patented piston pump technology with only three moving parts
• Twice?The?Power - Delivers over twice the hydraulic output per watt of input
• Half?The?Power Consumption - Accurate ram positioning means fewer course corrections
• Adjustable Flow Rate - Configure performance to suit your vessel
• Easy?Servicing - Shut off valves allow removal without draining steering system

The unique Octopus piston pump delivers over twice the hydraulic output per watt of input than a standard hydraulic gear pump.

Gear pumps leak oil between the gears, while a piston (such as used in car engines) does not. This means the piston pump will place the cylinder ram exactly where it is required, positioning the rudder accurately. This gives far sharper steering, reducingunnecessary course corrections meaning battery consumption on Octopus pumps is up to half that of other pumps.

Leading autopilot manufacturers choose Octopus pumps for their non RFB pilot systems which do not have a Rudder Feedback unit. Previously, slop in the system caused by gear leakage meant that a Rudder Feedback unit was necessary to tell the pilot the exact rudder position. As Octopus pumps will always bring the ram back to the required position the Rudder Feedback unit is not required, which also greatly simplifies installation.

A professional installation should always have a method of isolating the pump from the steering system - Octopus pumps feature inbuilt shut off valves in the pump manifold.

A pump that does not have variable flow (unless dedicated to a range of cylinders such as our fixed 0.8L pump) will be operating too fast or too slow in 90% of cases. Autopilot manufacturers get around this problem by adjusting the output to the pump to compensate, which either forces the pump to operate for longer periods of time which increases power consumption and wear on the parts, or it will operate at high pressure for short periods of time - also putting unnecessary strain and wear on the system.

Octopus Variable Flow Reversing Pumps precisely control the speed of the ram, reducing unnecessary battery consumption, pressure, strain and wear on the hydraulic system.

Octopus Type S Straight Shaft

Behind Dashboard Drive

• Retro Fits to Most Cable Steered Vessel
• Easily Adaptable to S1 Autopilots
• The Only Viable Option When Adding an Autopilot to a Cable Steered Vessel
• Affordable, Reliable, Seamless-behind the Dash Installation
• 2 Year Limited Warranty

The Straight shaft drive unit replaces the manual drive used on cable steered boats and is mounted directly behind the dash. The drive is directly compatible with the Morse 290 steering helm but comes with its own bezel kit and can be retrofitted in most installations using the cable and steering wheel from the manual steering helm on the boat.

This drive can be mounted in 2 ways, either at 90 deg to the dashboard or at 20 deg to the dashboard. Spacer Kits are also available to reduce the space required behind the dashboard.
