<h3>A Century of Marine Electronics Innovation</h3> <p>Raymarine's heritage in marine innovation traces back to 1923, when the first commercial fathometer was developed, marking the beginning of a legacy that would transform navigation and safety on the water. The Raymarine brand was formed in 2001 through a management buyout of Raytheon's marine division, and has since become a trusted name among recreational boaters, fishing captains, and professional mariners worldwide. In 2010, the company was acquired by FLIR Systems, bringing advanced thermal imaging capabilities to their product lineup.</p> <p>What sets Raymarine apart is their commitment to pioneering technology that addresses real challenges on the water. The company created the first autopilot system for recreational boats in 1974 and developed the SeaTalk language for electronic devices to connect via a single cable in 1989, innovations that fundamentally changed how boaters interact with their vessels. Today, their <a href="/11286-raymarine-raymarine-electronics-200849">electronics</a> lineup includes cutting-edge multifunction displays, radar systems, and navigation tools engineered to withstand the harsh marine environment while delivering intuitive operation.</p> <h3>Professional-Grade Electronics for Every Mariner</h3> <p>The core of Raymarine's reputation lies in their comprehensive <a href="/11286-raymarine-raymarine-electronics-200849">marine electronics</a> offerings. Their full range includes chartplotters, fishfinders, radars, marine instruments, marine cameras, AIS units and VHF radios, all designed with the rugged demands of maritime use in mind. Their customers include offshore fishing captains, luxury cruising boat skippers, sailors and professional mariners, and they're the trusted navigation system supplier to the U.S. Coast Guard, a testament to the reliability and performance of their systems.</p> <p>Beyond primary navigation displays, Raymarine's <a href="/11286-raymarine-raymarine-transducers-accessories-200850">transducers and accessories</a> ensure seamless integration and enhanced functionality across their product ecosystem.

Product Details

The Raymarine M81132 is a Type 2 (long) mechanical linear drive autopilot designed for mechanically steered vessels up to 44,000 lbs (20,000 kg). This robust autopilot drive unit is engineered specifically for boats with existing mechanical steering systems, delivering powerful thrust, fast hardover times, and exceptionally quiet operation.

Key Features:

  • Low backdrive force minimizes the drive's effect on the boat's steering when the autopilot is in standby mode
  • Powerful 12-volt electric motor controlled by an electromagnetic fail-safe clutch for reliable operation
  • High tensile belt drive system combined with epicyclic gearbox for smooth, efficient power transfer
  • High performance operation with minimum current consumption for extended battery life
  • Type 2 long stroke configuration provides extended ram travel for larger rudder angles

This mechanical linear drive autopilot is ideal for mid-sized cruising sailboats and powerboats that require dependable steering assistance. The electromagnetic clutch provides instant engagement and disengagement, while the low backdrive force ensures natural steering feel when the autopilot is not active. Installation requires mounting the drive unit to the vessel's existing mechanical steering system using the appropriate mounting hardware.
