Raymarine

<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. From CHIRP sonar transducers that deliver exceptional underwater imaging to networking cables and mounting hardware, these components are engineered to work together flawlessly. The company adopted FLIR's philosophy of Commercial Developed Military Qualified (CDMQ) product development, delivering marine electronics renowned for their rugged design and reliability.</p> <h3>Innovation That Keeps Boaters Safe</h3> <p>Raymarine has continued to push the boundaries of what's possible in marine electronics, from trailblazing the use of compact radar systems for small vessels to introducing leading-edge sensors. Their commitment to safety and ease of use extends to every product category, whether you're outfitting a fishing boat, cruiser, or commercial vessel. Their products are engineered for the tough marine environment and renowned for ease-of-use, rugged design and reliability, ensuring that boaters can depend on their equipment when it matters most.</p> <p>With close to 100 years of technological innovation on the water, Raymarine has offices in 12 countries and partners with over 7,500 dealers and installers in 110 countries.

Product Details

The Raymarine RCU-1 (E70718) is a handheld wireless autopilot remote control designed for both powerboats and sailboats. Engineered exclusively for use with Raymarine Evolution autopilot systems, the RCU-1 gives captains the freedom to engage, adjust, and monitor their autopilot from virtually anywhere on board — no wires, no helm restrictions.

The RCU-1 connects to the vessel's NMEA 2000 / SeaTalkNG backbone via the included WG-1 Wireless Gateway, using a Bluetooth link with a range of up to 98 feet (30 meters). The ergonomic, single-hand design and dedicated autopilot control buttons make it intuitive for both novice and experienced mariners alike.

Key Features:

  • Point-and-Go Navigation — Instantly set a new course by pointing the controller in the desired direction; the Evolution autopilot takes over from there
  • Solo Sailor MOB Safety Mode — Industry-first feature that automatically turns the vessel into the wind and slows to near-stop if the Bluetooth link is lost or the wearer falls overboard
  • Sunlight-Readable Color Display — Displays real-time vessel data including heading, speed, depth, and active waypoint information from the NMEA 2000 / SeaTalkNG network
  • IP67 Waterproof Rating — Durable construction built to withstand harsh marine environments
  • Up to 30-Day Battery Life — Powered by standard AA batteries (included), minimizing downtime on extended voyages
  • Multi-Remote Support — A single WG-1 gateway supports up to three RCU-1 remotes simultaneously, ideal for larger crews or multi-station vessels
  • LightHouse 4 Chartplotter Integration — Displays live data from compatible Raymarine Axiom chart plotters when on the same NMEA 2000 / SeaTalkNG network (requires LightHouse 4 v4.11 or higher)

The E70718 Starter Kit includes one RCU-1 wireless remote, one WG-1 Wireless Gateway, carrying strap, and wall bracket. Additional RCU-1 units can be added to an existing WG-1 gateway. Note: The RCU-1 is exclusively compatible with Raymarine Evolution autopilots and is not compatible with earlier generations of Raymarine autopilot systems.
