Common Question of Octopus Type T
What is the Octopus Type T?
The Octopus Type T is a tilt-shaft component for mounting behind the dash in compatible mechanical drive systems. It supports steering-drive installation rather than anchor handling. Confirm drive compatibility, shaft dimensions, bezel, mounting depth, control unit, and marine autopilot controller requirements before purchase.
Where does it mount?
It mounts behind the dash according to the listing. Verify dash thickness, shaft alignment, mounting hardware, steering-drive geometry, clearance, and connection requirements before installation. Correct alignment supports smooth mechanical steering operation.
Is it an anchor windlass part?
No. The Type T tilt shaft supports a mechanical steering drive and does not operate a gypsy, drum, chain, or anchor rope. It is not an electric anchor windlass. Verify separate equipment for marine anchor retrieval.
