Octopus 12' Linear Drive F/Autopilot

Well, I rather stupidly bought this drive without making the final measurements in our boat, which of course means it would not fit.

This was an older, but never used linear drive I bought from another boater, model 1012. The only major difference is that the newer drives have a 1.2 liter capacity, and this has 1L capacity. I had the unit sent to Canada Metals (Manufacturer) for a complete rebuild, so I knew it was as good as new - again, this has never been installed on a vessel. All new seals, hoses, and rod was polished. Filled with fluid and ready to mount.

$1000 + shipping. A new one is $1440.00 from Defender.
