THanks for that. I have spoken with Octopus about their limitation and they assure me that on my 2005 340 with Rack and pinion steering assisted by powers steering it will work.
cross my fingers as I have ordered the Octopus R. any one out there with this installed, I would love to see...
Some confusion as to what I need to install autopilot on these sterndrive.
this boat appear to be power assisted by way of a Teleflex steering cable and powersteering.
I assume I do not have hydraulic steering and do not need a hydraulic pump. I want to go with a Raymarine branded autopilot...
It is just a click I hear - I have a separate switch on my main panel for the water pump on my boat to energize
I guess it must be just another accessory switch then.
In my manual it is called the "water switch" but no further reference to this switch is made anywhere
I purchased a 2005 340 sundancer last year
on the right hand side instrument panel near the acc.2 switch there is one called water system. When I turn it on I hear a small solenoid type of click within the boat. Can anyone tell me what this switch operates?
