Description

The Raymarine Evolution EV-400 Sail Pilot (T70161) is the autopilot brain for large sailing yachts with mechanical steering. At its centre is the ACU-400 actuator control unit, delivering up to 30 A of continuous drive current for the Type 2 and Type 3 drives such installations demand: mechanical linear, hydraulic linear or rotary. A rotary rudder feedback unit is included for precise rudder angle sensing, alongside the 9-axis EV-1 Sensor Core, p70s push-button control head and the Evolution SeaTalkng cabling kit.

Choose any compatible Type 2 or Type 3 mechanical linear, rotary or hydraulic linear autopilot drive to complete the system; the ACU-400 runs on 12 or 24 volt supplies and powers the SeaTalkng bus. Wind vane steering with AutoTack is available with a networked wind instrument, and a compatible Axiom chartplotter can command the pilot. Raymarine has issued a recall notice affecting certain ACU-400 units; contact us with your serial number for guidance.

Which Evolution pack suits my boat?

Match the pack to your steering system: EV-100 Wheel or Tiller for cockpit-drive sailboats, EV-100, EV-150 or EV-200 Power for hydraulic steering depending on cylinder capacity, EV-200 Sail for below-decks mechanical steering, EV-300 for solenoid-controlled systems, EV-400 for Type 2 and Type 3 drives on larger vessels, and EV-DBW for drive-by-wire steering.

Does an Evolution autopilot need calibration?

No. Set-up is automatic: the rudder gain, rudder damping, counter rudder and compass calibration routines required by earlier autopilots are no longer necessary, and the system keeps refining itself as you use the boat. This is documented in the EV-1 installation instructions (87472).

Do I need a rudder angle reference sensor?

Raymarine highly recommends the rudder angle reference transducer (M81105) on every Evolution system for optimum performance, and it is essential on ACU-300 solenoid installations. The EV-400 Sail and Power packs include a rotary rudder feedback unit, and the ACU-300 ships with one.

How do I check the displacement ratings?

Use the vessel's fully laden displacement, which Raymarine notes is often around 20 percent above the designed displacement, when comparing your boat against a drive or pack rating.

Can I control the autopilot from my chartplotter?

Yes. Compatible controllers include the Axiom, Axiom+, Axiom Pro, Axiom 2 Pro, Axiom XL and Axiom 2 XL chartplotter families as well as the p70s and p70Rs pilot heads. Axiom 2 Pro and Axiom 2 XL need LightHouse 4 v4.4.70 or later; earlier families are supported per the compatibility tables in document 87472.
