Choose the Octopus 7" Stroke Remote 38mm Bore Linear Drive – 12V (OCTAF1012LAR7) for dependable autopilot steering power, precision control, and trusted Octopus marine engineering.
The OCTAF1012LAR7 is the ideal solution for boaters who need maximum power in a compact stroke length. It is particularly popular on modern cruising sailboats where the steering quadrant may be located in a very narrow or shallow space. Its hydraulic design is more robust than mechanical alternatives, making it a "lifetime" component for serious blue-water sailors.
Because this is a Remote system, it is vital to use high-quality, low-expansion hydraulic hoses. Any "stretch" or expansion in the hoses will result in "soft" or spongy steering, which can cause the autopilot to hunt and work harder than necessary. Always ensure the system is bled thoroughly of all air bubbles during the initial setup.
