Description

The Raymarine Evolution EV-150 Power Pilot (T70330) is a complete hydraulic autopilot for powerboats with single-engine outboards or inboards. Its 12 volt Type 1 hydraulic pump serves steering cylinder capacities between 80 and 230 cc (4.9 to 14.0 cu in), driven by the ACU-150 actuator control unit with up to 12 A of continuous drive current. Hydro-Balance technology compensates for elasticity in the hydraulic circuit, eliminating oscillation and drive hunting.

The pack contains the EV-1 Sensor Core, ACU-150, p70Rs rotary control head, Evolution SeaTalkng cabling kit and the Type 1 pump (pump installation guide document 81178). Commissioning needs no calibration, and the pilot is equally at home commanded from a compatible Axiom chartplotter. The same system without the drive is T70407. Note that Raymarine has issued a recall notice affecting certain ACU-150 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.
