[CA] [CA11] autopilot

[Chuck - Raymarine - Moderator]

Welcome to the Raymarine Forum David,

I too own an Octopus Drive for my powerboat ... in my case a Type R. The Type R and Type S drives are fundamentally the same with regard to their ACU requirements ... in this case an ACU-200. The ACU-100 and ACU-150 do not feature controls for the drive's clutch. Accordingly, it would be recommended that a T70156 EV-200 Power be purchased for use with your Octopus Type S Drive. A powered and properly terminated SeaTalkng / NMEA 2000 backbone will be constructed from SeaTalkng networking components. The ACU-200, EV-1 CCU, p70RS Autopilot Control Head, and MFD will each be interfaced as an individual spur to the aforementioned backbone. The MFD's NMEA 2000 socket may be found on the MFD's Power / NMEA 2000 Cable.
