Raymarine

<h3>Raymarine: Decades of Innovation on the Water</h3><p>For more than 80 years, <strong>Raymarine</strong> has been one of the most trusted names in marine electronics, serving recreational boaters, anglers, and light commercial mariners around the world. Born from a legacy of precision engineering, Raymarine designs products purpose-built to endure the punishing demands of the marine environment — from saltwater spray and UV exposure to the vibration and shock of open-water passages. Today, the brand maintains a global presence across 12 countries and continues to push the boundaries of what&apos;s possible on the water.</p><p>At the heart of the Raymarine lineup is an expansive range of marine electronics that covers nearly every navigation and situational awareness need a boater could have. Whether you&apos;re weekend cruising on a bay, trolling offshore for big game fish, or delivering a vessel across an ocean, Raymarine has purpose-engineered technology to help you do it more safely and confidently.</p><h3>Radar, Autopilots &amp; Intelligent Navigation</h3><p>Raymarine has long been a standard-setter in radars and autopilots. Their Quantum and Cyclone radar series bring CHIRP pulse compression technology and solid-state architecture to both weekend sailors and serious offshore mariners. Raymarine autopilots — spanning the Evolution and Axiom Auto series — integrate seamlessly with onboard navigation systems and use intelligent algorithms to maintain course with minimal helm input, reducing fatigue on long passages. Together, these systems represent some of the most sophisticated navigation assistance available to the recreational market.</p><h3>Multi-Function Displays: The Heart of the Helm</h3><p>Raymarine&apos;s multi-function display systems serve as the central hub of any modern helm setup. The Axiom and Axiom Pro MFD series offer responsive touchscreens, integrated RealVision 3D sonar, and compatibility with Navionics and LightHouse charts. These displays are engineered to network effortlessly with other Raymarine devices, giving captains a unified, at-a-glance view of navigation, fishfinding, radar, and vessel data — all from a single screen.</p><h3>Wind Speed Instruments &amp; Marine Data</h3><p>Precise environmental data is critical for sailors and performance-focused boaters alike. Raymarine&apos;s <a href="/201187-wind-speed-indicators-raymarine-11286">wind speed indicators</a> and instrument systems deliver real-time data on apparent and true wind speed, direction, depth, speed through water, and more. Engineered to integrate with the broader Raymarine network, these instruments feed data directly into autopilots and chart plotters for a fully connected onboard experience.</p><h3>Accessories &amp; Replacement Parts</h3><p>Keeping your Raymarine system running at its best is straightforward thanks to a broad selection of <a href="/11286-raymarine-electronics-parts-accessories-200363">electronics parts and accessories</a>. From transducer cables and mounting brackets to network cables, power harnesses, and display covers, Raymarine offers the components needed to install, expand, or maintain any part of your onboard electronics suite. These accessories are built to the same marine-grade standards as Raymarine&apos;s primary products.</p><h3>Why Boaters Choose Raymarine</h3><ul style="list-style:disc"><li><strong>Proven durability</strong> — designed and tested for real-world marine conditions</li><li><strong>Seamless integration</strong> — all Raymarine products network via SeaTalkng and NMEA 2000</li><li><strong>Intuitive interfaces</strong> — touchscreen and keypad controls suited to any sea state</li><li><strong>Global support</strong> — backed by a worldwide dealer and service network</li><li><strong>Continuous innovation</strong> — regular firmware and feature updates extend product lifespan</li></ul>

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.
