Octopus Drives Type-S Straight Shaft Drive Unit for Behind Dash Mount - OCTAFMDMSW

Octopus' Type-S Straight Shaft Drive Unit is a rotary mechanical autopilot drive system that makes it simple and economical to fit an autopilot on smaller powerboats with mechanical push-pull cable steering.

Features:

• Type-S standard straight shaft for mounting behind the dash
• Replaces the manual drive used on cable steered boats
• 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
• Drive can be mounted in 2 ways:
  • 90° to the dashboard
  • 20° to the dashboard
• Easily adaptable to S1 autopilots - retro-fits to most cable steered vessels
• The only viable option when adding an autopilot to a cable steered vessel
• Affordable, reliable, seamless-behind the dash installation
• Spacer kits are also available to reduce the space required behind the dashboard (sold separately)
• 2 Year limited warranty
