Steering
Optimus Electronic Power Steering
The key components to the Optimus Electronic Power Steering System (EPS) are the
patented Optimus EPS electronic helm that connects via CAN Bus to a Pump Control
Module (PCM) that operates individual hydraulic pumps. The pumps are connected to
specially engineered electro-hydraulic
“SmartCylinders” that control individual
movement of the outboard engines. The
Optimus EPS system replaces the
traditional hydraulic steering system
without the need for tie bars. Both the
Pump Control Module and the hydraulic
pumps can be found in the in floor lazarette
mounted on the starboard wall. For
additional information regarding Optimus
Electronic Power Steering, see the SeaStar
Owner’s Manual located in your Cobia
Duffel bag.
