Raymarine Evolution EV-100 Tiller Autopilot

The Raymarine Evolution EV-100 Pack is an advanced autopilot system designed specifically for tiller-steered small sailboats with a maximum displacement of up to 6,000 kg. This comprehensive package includes the ACU-100 course computer, the p70s control unit, and a tiller actuator. The system is engineered to detect environmental parameters and swiftly calculate optimal settings, ensuring superior performance. As a result, it provides precise and reliable course-keeping, regardless of the boat’s speed or prevailing sea conditions. The EV-100 eliminates the need for complex learning procedures and compass calibration, featuring automatic calibration and a 9-axis monitoring system that tracks the bow, rolling, and pitching of the vessel.

For added convenience, an optional S100 wireless remote control is available, which includes a base station receiver and connects to the autopilot via the Seatalk1 to NMEA 2000 converter.

The EV Sensor Core

At the heart of every Evolution system is the intelligent EV sensor core, a 9-axis sensor that monitors vessel motion across all three dimensions. This innovative core integrates advanced solid-state sensors with the Evolution autopilot processor into a single, easy-to-install unit.

The EV sensor core can be mounted above or below deck, featuring a rugged, fully sealed enclosure that meets IPX6 and IPX7 waterproofing and submersion standards.

Designed for use with Evolution mechanical and hydraulic autopilot systems, the EV-1 utilises SeaTalkng networking, allowing a single cable connection for both power and data to the Evolution ACU (Actuator Control Unit) and extended SeaTalkng and NMEA 2000 networks.

Key Features:

• Precision monitoring of heading, pitch, roll, and yaw, enabling the autopilot to adapt instantly to changing sea conditions and vessel dynamics
• Flexible installation options, suitable for above or below deck
• Simple SeaTalkng connectivity to the control head and ACU
• Solid-state sensor technology provides dynamic accuracy within 2 degrees under all conditions
• Fast and reliable heading data for MARPA, radar overlay, and heading modes on Raymarine multifunction displays

p70 Autopilot Control Head

The p70 is a user-friendly push-button controller designed primarily for sailboats.

Key Features:

• The LightHouse user interface is intuitive and quick to navigate
• Wide 160° viewing angles for enhanced visibility
• A startup wizard simplifies pilot configuration
• Anti-reflective coating improves visibility in bright sunlight
• Low power consumption—typically 132mA/1.6W, which is 27% less than the ST70 at four times the measured brightness
• Supports various autopilot modes: Auto, Standby, Pattern, Track, Wind Vane, Power Steer, and Jog Steer
• Simple system and group dimming/illumination
• Compatibility with multiple data sources
• SeaTalkng/NMEA 2000 and SeaTalk1 connectivity (no bridging required)

ACU-100 Autopilot Control Unit (ACU)

The robust ACU (Actuator Control Unit) provides reliable drive power for the autopilot and supplies power to the SeaTalkng bus. Select the ACU that best suits your steering system type.

Evolution Cabling Kit Includes:

• 1 x SeaTalkng Power Cable (0.4m)
• 1 x SeaTalkng Backbone Cable (5m)
• 1 x SeaTalkng Spur Cable (0.4m)
• 1 x SeaTalkng 5-way Connector Block
• 2 x SeaTalkng T-piece Connectors
• 2 x SeaTalkng Terminators
