Autopilot motor, type 2, 12V

This motor is specifically designed to operate with a 12-volt direct current power supply.

No, this motor is exclusively designed for Type 2 power units. Type 1 and Type 2 motors are not interchangeable due to differences in torque, power, and mounting dimensions.

Replacement is a mechanical procedure that does not require specialized tools. It involves disconnecting the old motor from the power unit and installing the new one. However, basic technical knowledge is recommended.

The shipping weight of the motor kit is approximately 2.1 kg.

Type 2 power units equipped with this motor are generally recommended for sailboats and powerboats with a displacement up to 20,000 kg (or up to 22,000 kg for hydraulic models) for linear actuators, and up to 20,000 kg for rotary units.

Yes, this is an original Raymarine replacement motor, ensuring perfect compatibility and performance in line with your autopilot system specifications.

While replacing the engine does not alter the fundamental parameters of the autopilot computer, it is still advisable to perform calibration procedures (dockside calibration and sea calibration) to ensure optimal performance.

The main difference lies in torque and power. Type 2 motor provides higher torque, making it suitable for steering systems on heavier boats with greater displacement than those equipped with a Type 1 system.

No, this model (reference N002) is exclusively wound for 12V systems. Using it on a 24V supply would irreparably damage it.

Replacing only the motor is a more economical maintenance solution than replacing the entire drive unit (linear or rotary actuator). This restores autopilot performance when only the electrical part is faulty.

Yes, it is imperative to cut the power to the autopilot before any intervention. When connecting, ensure you respect the polarity of the cables (+/-) so that the motor turns in the correct direction and the helm commands (starboard/port) are accurate.

Yes, this motor is the standard replacement part for Raymarine Type 2 power units, whether they are mechanical linear ram type or rotary power units.

Yes, like all original Raymarine parts intended for installation on a boat, this motor is designed with materials and finishes suitable for resisting the marine environment and corrosion.

Symptoms of a failing motor can include: The actuator no longer responds despite the ECU being powered. An abnormal operating noise (grinding, clunking). Excessive electrical consumption causing the system to trip. A simple test involves powering the motor directly with 12V to check if it turns.

No, this motor is a specific component developed for Raymarine systems. Using it with equipment from other brands is not guaranteed and could damage the entire autopilot system.

This Raymarine engine is manufactured in Hungary.

In general, the engine is mounted directly on the reduction gear of the power unit. No additional gasket is required, but it is advisable to check the condition of the mechanical coupling when disassembling and clean it before reinstalling the new engine.

A Type 2 system is suitable for a 10-tonne boat. While a Type 1 system may suffice, having a slightly oversized system like the Type 2 provides a safety margin and better responsiveness, particularly in rough sea conditions.

Yes, this is a brushed DC electric motor. This is the standard technology for this type of application, providing high torque at startup.

A new engine that is properly installed produces normal and steady operating noise. Excessive or unusual noise may indicate a mechanical issue in the power unit or poor installation, rather than a defect in the engine itself.
