Octopus Sterndrive System f/Mercruiser from 1994 & North American Volvo from 1997 w/9' Cable

The Octopus Sterndrive System f/Mercruiser from 1994 & North American Volvo from 1997 w/9' Cable is an advanced autopilot drive designed for dedicated boaters seeking hands-free steering control during extended outings. This system is particularly beneficial for anglers and cruisers who experience fatigue from constant helm adjustments, allowing them to focus on fishing, navigation, or managing their crew.

Engineered for durability in both salt and fresh water, the Octopus sterndrive autopilot utilizes a proportional rudder servo that works in conjunction with gyroscopic heading sensors to maintain a steady course without manual input. The 9-foot cable is designed to accommodate typical distances found in mid-size sportfishing and cruising boats, ensuring effective steering control.

This system is compatible with Mercruiser sterndrives from 1994 and later, as well as North American Volvo sterndrives from 1997 onward, making it a versatile choice for many boaters. Its compact dimensions of 16 × 8 × 27 inches and weight of 20.3 pounds facilitate straightforward installation without extensive modifications to the helm or engine compartments.
