The Raymarine Evolution EV-100 Wheel Autopilot System delivers advanced aerospace guidance technology and FLIR Systems' research to create a new level of accurate autopilot control for racing, cruising, and fishing applications. This complete system includes the EV-1 Sensor Core, ACU-100 Actuator Control Unit, P70s Control Head, and EV-1 cabling kit, making it suitable for 0.5L hydraulic, wheel, and tiller drive installations.
EV-1 Sensor Core:
The heart of the Evolution system features a revolutionary 9-axis sensor that provides exceptional heading accuracy and course keeping. Designed for mechanical and hydraulic autopilot systems, the EV-1 connects via SeaTalkng networking with a single cable for both power and data, integrating seamlessly with extended SeaTalkng and NMEA 2000 networks.
ACU-100 Actuator Control Unit:
Specifically engineered for wheel-drive and tiller-drive applications on sport boats, runabouts, and smaller cruising yachts, the ACU-100 provides a powerful interface between your steering system and the EV-1 course computer. As a world-first innovation, the ACU-100 is fully sealed for above-deck mounting where space is limited.
P70s Control Head Key Features:
- 3.5-inch super bright oversized LCD with optically bonded display technology for maximum visibility in all conditions
- All-weather, low-power display delivers brighter colors, sharper contrast, and wide viewing angles
- Button or rotary control options suitable for both sail and power applications
- Multiple autopilot modes: Auto, Standby, Pattern, Track, Wind Vane, Power Steer, and Jog Steer
- Automatic 3-step setup with display formats for leisure, cruising, and performance applications
- Intuitive Lighthouse user interface with sculpted rubber keypad for precise operation
- SeaTalkng networking for seamless connectivity to Raymarine systems and NMEA 2000 networks
- Glass bridge industrial design complements Raymarine eS and gS Series multifunction displays
- Includes both black (eS Series style) and gunmetal (e Series style) bezels plus protective suncover
This corepack system includes everything needed except the drive unit, which is selected separately based on your specific vessel requirements. The Evolution Ai control algorithms ensure smooth, efficient steering with reduced power consumption and minimal rudder activity.
