<p><strong>Octopus Autopilot Adjustable Reversing Pump - 12V 600cc</strong></p><p>This advanced autopilot pump features an ORB port connection manifold designed for use with hydraulic steering systems on boats up to 65 feet L.O.A. (depending on rudder torque). The pump operates under the control of the automatic pilot, adjusting the steering direction based on the pump motor's rotation. It utilizes a permanent magnetic motor that can reverse direction by altering the input current.</p><p>With only three moving parts, this pump avoids complex check valves, ensuring that rudder movement is halted when de-energized. Its output flow can be adjusted to 50% of its rated capacity, allowing precise calibration to match the steering cylinder's volume. Offering more than double the hydraulic output per watt compared to competitor gear pumps, this system excels in reliability and efficiency.</p><p>The robust motors measure a full 85mm in diameter and feature long-lasting brushes and sealed ball bearings for an extended service life. The molded rubber mounting foot is versatile, enabling installation on various surfaces.</p><p>Enhance your pump's capabilities with a selection of accessories that integrate additional valves and solid-state FET switching. These valves easily attach to the pump body, while the FET switch can be mounted next to the pump, a feature not found in competing autopilot pumps.</p><p><strong>Benefits of the Octopus Reversing Pumps:</strong></p><ul><li>Utilizes piston pump technology for superior efficiency and accuracy.</li><li>Minimal moving parts enhance reliability.</li><li>Variable flow rate for optimal matching with manual steering systems.</li><li>Professional cut-off valves simplify servicing.</li></ul>
