tookalook1,

Q1. how do you like the Octopus R?
A1. The drive has been onboard my boat since the summer of 2005 or 2006 and has functioned absolutely flawlessly. It is installed below decks on my 2001 22' Stingray 220DS w/Mercruiser 5.7L & Alpha 1 Gen II outdrive.

Q2. is it noisy
A2. This has certainly not been my experience

Q3. is the cable really stif as I am very limited in space and have to deal with 6Ft. of the cable
A3. The cable housing is fairly stiff, but posed no issues to install within my boat. I have likewise received no negative comments from any others who have installed the drive unit.
