Description

The T70281 supplies the electronics of an Evolution EV-100 autopilot, the EV-1 Sensor Core, ACU-100 actuator control unit, p70s control head and Evolution SeaTalkng cabling kit, without a drive unit. Raymarine offers it for retrofits where a serviceable wheel drive is already installed, typically upgrading an older SPX or ST4000 era system to Evolution 9-axis sensing with no recalibration routine.

The ACU-100 drives the Evolution cockpit wheel drive (E12093) and tiller drive (A80737) as well as the Type 0.5 hydraulic pump (E12139), so the same electronics pack can head a small hydraulic system too. The p70s push-button head suits sailing installations, and the system can equally be commanded from a compatible Axiom chartplotter on the SeaTalkng network.

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.
