Re: Stus-List C 34 plus auto pilots

2017-10-28 Thread Joe Della Barba via CnC-List 
When I was installing autopilots, we used Octopus drives for all the various 
brands of autopilots with good results. We never liked the electric drives, I 
thought they were far more prone to breakage.

I agree with Bruce's comment about the Octopus drive; mine (specked by Fred) it 
is effortless and sensitive to minute changes in the waves and wind

Not sure I agree with that comment.  I have an Octopus hydraulic ram on my 
37/40+ and can feel the prop wash as it crosses the rudder and even waves 
through the wheel response.

No matter which brand autopilot you use (mine is B
 Zeus2, I would recommend you use the Raymarine electric ram.  The hydraulic 
units have far too much drag and ruin the feel of the rudder.

I’ve installed both Ray electric ram and a hydraulic.  The hydraulic is 
slightly more resistance as Gary describes, but the advantage of significant 
less amp draw far outweighs this.
