Description

The Raymarine Evolution EV-DBW Pilot (T70164) is the autopilot for vessels with drive-by-wire electronic steering. Its EV-2 Sensor Core communicates directly with the boat's digital steering system using CAN bus, so the usual actuator control unit and drive electronics are not needed; the steering gear itself executes the pilot's commands. The 9-axis sensor monitors pitch, roll, yaw and heading and adapts continuously, with no commissioning calibration.

The pack combines the EV-2 with the p70Rs rotary control head and the EV-2 Evolution cabling kit. SeaTalkng networking links the pilot to instruments and chartplotters, and a compatible Axiom display can command the system. For Volvo Penta IPS and Aquamatic installations, choose the EV-DBW Volvo Edition (T70214), which adds the ECI-100 engine interface and Volvo-specific cabling.

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.
