Efficient and Easy to Use

This autopilot surpassed my expectations in both functionality and ease of use. Thanks to my knowledge gained in practice with marine electronics, I was able to navigate its features without any trouble. I was impressed with how quickly it responded to changes in course and how smoothly it adjusted to changing weather conditions. The only downside is that it can be a bit pricey, but for those who are serious about navigation, it's worth the investment. Overall, I'm extremely satisfied with this

Pros
  • Efficient and reliable control of autopilot systems.
Cons
  • Requires advanced technical skills to install and operate, which may limit accessibility for some individuals.

Not full autopilot.

I needed a new autopilot installation for my boat. This product was not a full autopilot, just a steering gear. Insufficiently described in the web description.

Pros
  • Marine Electronics
Cons
  • Not sure

Works with Garmin 40 Cable Hydraulic System

Octopus was installed with a Garmin Reaker 40 block. My boat had hydraulic assist steering rather than full hydraulic steering, which works great for the autopilot system installed. I'm amazed that even in cross winds it stays within a degree or two of heading and works great.

Pros
  • Autopilots
Cons
  • Not sure
