High-efficiency piston pump for hydraulically steered boats
The Octopus Boat Autopilot Pump is designed for use with most hydraulically steered boats, offering a reliable and efficient solution for steering control. Utilizing patented piston pump technology, this pump delivers over twice the hydraulic output per watt compared to standard hydraulic gear pumps. The unique design minimizes oil leakage, ensuring precise positioning of the rudder and reducing the need for frequent course corrections, which in turn lowers battery consumption significantly.
With a flow rate ranging from 1.2 liters to 2 liters per minute and a cylinder capacity of 15 to 30 cubic inches, the Octopus pump can be easily configured to meet the specific performance needs of various vessels. The floor mount design allows for straightforward installation, while the integrated shut-off valve facilitates easy servicing without the need to drain the steering system. This feature enhances the overall usability and maintenance of the pump, making it a preferred choice among leading autopilot manufacturers.
The Octopus Boat Autopilot Pump is particularly advantageous for non-RFB pilot systems, eliminating the need for a Rudder Feedback unit. This simplification not only reduces installation complexity but also enhances the overall reliability of the steering system. By ensuring that the ram is always returned to the required position, the Octopus pump provides sharp and accurate steering performance.
