Octopus 7" Stroke Remote 38mm Bore Linear Drive - 12V - Up To 45' or 24,200lbs

The Octopus 7" Stroke Remote 38mm Bore Linear Drive is a 12-volt hydraulic actuator designed for serious boaters and marine professionals who require reliable autopilot control over extended distances. This electric linear drive is built for vessels operating up to 45 feet or handling loads up to 24,200 pounds, integrating seamlessly with modern autopilot systems to provide smooth steering corrections.

Featuring a 7-inch stroke length and 38mm bore diameter, this unit translates electrical commands from your autopilot controller into precise hydraulic movement that actuates your steering system. The 12-volt DC motor operates quietly and efficiently, drawing minimal current compared to older mechanical systems, which helps preserve battery capacity during extended offshore trips.

This linear drive's compact 8 x 8 x 39-inch footprint allows for flexible installation in tight spaces, while its 21-pound weight ensures it can be mounted without requiring reinforced structures. Ideal for commercial fishing vessels, cabin cruisers, or large sportfishers, this actuator enhances safety by maintaining a consistent course heading even in variable sea conditions.
