Seastar BH Harness 12FT to Suit EA1000
NEXT GENERATION ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING
The Optimus Seastar BH Harness 12FT to Suit EA1000 Electric Steering Actuator mounts directly on the outboard in place of the present hydraulic cylinder. The powerful drive train, position sensor, brake and electronics are all embedded in the electric steering actuator. This means no Pump Control Module, no hydraulic pump, no hoses, hydraulic cylinders and fluid, and no more purging the system.
The Optimus Electronic Steering Actuator is the first complete bolt on electronic steering for outboard engines, compatible for single, twin, triple and quad engines 150 horsepower and up.
The steering control unit, hydraulic power source and transmission and actuator are integrated into one electro-mechanical actuator, making this the next evolution in electronic power steering.
The new Electric Steering Actuator will interface with compatible autopilot systems in the same manner as current Optimus systems. Dometic’s SeaWays Autopilot, Optimus 360 Joystick Control and SeaStation GPS Anchoring functionality are also built in.
