Description

The Raymarine Evolution EV-100 Wheel Pilot (T70152) is a complete autopilot for wheel-steered sailboats up to 7,500 kg (16,500 lbs) fully laden displacement. The externally mounted wheel drive fits in the cockpit, attached directly to the spokes of the steering wheel, so there is no below-decks drive installation. The intelligent EV-1 Sensor Core monitors pitch, roll, yaw and heading with aerospace-grade 9-axis sensing while the ACU-100 powers the drive, and the system requires no commissioning calibration.

The pack contains the EV-1 Sensor Core, ACU-100 actuator control unit, p70s push-button control head, Evolution SeaTalkng cabling kit and the wheel drive unit (installation instructions document 87287). SeaTalkng networking links the pilot to wind instruments and chartplotters, and the system can also be commanded from a compatible Axiom, Axiom 2 Pro or Axiom 2 XL display. A version without the p70s head is available as T70248.

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.
