Octopus Rudder Feedback Potentiometer Module – Autohelm & Raymarine Kit (Model OC15SUK27B)

The Octopus Rudder Feedback Potentiometer Module (Model OC15SUK27B) is a precision marine autopilot rudder position sensor engineered to provide accurate rudder angle feedback for Autohelm and Raymarine autopilot systems. Designed for reliability and performance, this module helps enhance autopilot steering control, improve course-holding, and reduce unnecessary system corrections.

Built with marine-grade materials and corrosion-resistant components, the OC15SUK27B is rugged enough for demanding saltwater and freshwater environments. Its dependable potentiometer design delivers consistent feedback to your autopilot electronics, ensuring precise rudder position data and smoother steering performance.

The Octopus rudder feedback module is compatible with a wide range of hydraulic and mechanical steering setups, making it an ideal solution for recreational boats, sailboats, and powerboats that require accurate rudder feedback to optimize autopilot responsiveness.

Key Features:

Rudder feedback potentiometer module for marine autopilots
Compatible with Autohelm and Raymarine systems
Provides precise rudder position data
Enhances autopilot accuracy and course-keeping
Marine-grade, corrosion-resistant construction
Reliable performance in harsh marine environments
Model: OC15SUK27B

Applications:

Marine autopilot steering systems
Hydraulic or mechanical steering configurations
Powerboats, sailboats, and yachts requiring rudder feedback

Choose the Octopus Rudder Feedback Potentiometer Module (OC15SUK27B) for dependable rudder sensing and improved autopilot control on Autohelm and Raymarine equipped vessels.

Technical Specifications:

Model Number: OC15SUK27B
Compatibility: Raymarine (all series) and Autohelm
Sensor Type: Contact Potentiometer
Linkage: Included (Stainless steel / Ball-joint)
Enclosure Rating: IP67 (Water-resistant)
Connection: 3-wire lead for standard Raymarine terminal blocks (Green/Red/Blue)

Why Choose the OC15SUK27B?

The OC15SUK27B is the preferred alternative to the standard Raymarine M81105 sensor. It offers the same high level of precision and durability but is often favored by professional installers for its versatile mounting linkage. If you are experiencing "Sloppy" steering or your autopilot is struggling to find "Center," adding or replacing a rudder feedback unit is the single most effective way to restore peak performance.

Installation Pro-Tip:

When wiring to a Raymarine ACU, ensure the wires are connected to the dedicated "Rudder" terminals. Typically, these are color-coded: Red (5V), Green (Signal), and Blue (Ground). After the physical installation is complete, you must run the "Dockside Wizard" on your autopilot control head to calibrate the sensor's center point and hard-over limits.
