EV-100 autopilot pack

The ready-to-install kit includes all necessary components:

p70s control displayACU-100 power drive unit9-axis EV-1 sensorTiller Drive rudder drive kitComplete SeaTalk NG network wiring kit

This kit is specifically designed for sailboats equipped with a tiller. The included actuator (Tiller Drive) attaches directly to the tiller to ensure precise course holding under sail or power.

The EV-1 AHRS sensor integrates 9-axis technology that replaces older fluxgate compasses. It analyzes the boat’s movements in real time (roll, pitch, and yaw) to instantly adjust the rudder response, delivering exceptional precision even in rough sea conditions.

No, this is one of the major advantages of Raymarine’s Evolution technology. The system is intelligent and automatically adapts to your boat’s characteristics without requiring the lengthy calibration procedures of older generations.

The EV-1 sensor can be installed above or below deck using its flush or surface mount bracket. It must be placed at least 1 meter away from any equipment or cables transmitting radio signals (such as VHF) and more than 2 meters from a radar beam to avoid interference.

No, unlike other models in the range, the ACU-100 does not provide power to the SeaTalk NG network. The backbone requires its own direct 12V DC power supply, protected by a 5 amp inline fuse.

Yes, Raymarine's SeaTalk NG protocol is based on NMEA 2000. You can easily interface it with other NMEA 2000 devices using a DeviceNet adapter cable (sold separately).

The EV-1 sensor is extremely energy-efficient. It draws only 30 mA, taken directly from the SeaTalk NG network, which is ideal for preserving your sailboat’s batteries.

Yes, although the system can operate without it, installing a rudder angle sensor (reference M81105) is highly recommended to ensure optimal performance and smoother autopilot response.

Yes, the exposed components are designed for the marine environment. The EV-1 sensor is notably IPX6 waterproof certified, protecting it against breaking waves and heavy water spray.

The p70s display is the autopilot’s user interface. Specifically designed for sailboats, it features dedicated push buttons for quick and precise course changes (+1°/-1° or +10°/-10°), and allows easy switching between auto mode, wind mode, and route tracking.

Yes, if your autopilot is connected to a compatible wind transducer/vane anemometer via the SeaTalk NG or NMEA 2000 network, you can enable the wind vane mode so the boat maintains a constant angle to the wind.

The EV-1 sensor is very compact: it measures 140 mm in diameter for a depth of 35 mm (95 mm with the wall mount) and weighs only 0.29 kg.

This error indicates a communication failure with the internal gyroscope of the EV-1 sensor. The first step is to restart the system by unplugging and replugging the SeaTalk NG cable of the EV-1 unit. If the issue persists, contact technical support.

Before any cleaning, disconnect the power. Use only a clean, damp cloth to wipe the devices. Never use abrasive products, acids, ammonia-based cleaners, or chemical solvents that could damage plastics and screens.

If you connect your Raymarine equipment to other devices using a cable not supplied by Raymarine, you must attach a ferrite choke to the cable as close as possible to the Raymarine unit to prevent electromagnetic interference.

The system is designed to withstand extreme conditions. Its operating temperature range is from -20 °C to +55 °C, covering nearly all global sailing zones.

This alarm indicates that the autopilot has not received speed data (surface or bottom) for at least 10 seconds. While the autopilot can operate without speed data, this information improves its overall performance in Auto mode. Check your speed sensor or GPS connections.

The entire system operates on a standard 12V DC power supply. The acceptable operating voltage range is between 10.8 V and 15.6 V DC.

If the ram pushes the tiller in the wrong direction, it usually means the motor wires are reversed on the ACU-100 computer terminals. Cut the power, swap the two motor wires on the ACU, then retest.
