Volvo Engine Y-Cable

The Raymarine Volvo E70241 motor cable is an essential component designed to facilitate the integration of Raymarine autopilot systems with Volvo Penta IPS drives.

Its primary function is to establish the connection between the Raymarine data processing unit (DPU) and the Volvo Penta autopilot interface, identified by the reference D8065-1.

The E70241 cable is a proprietary wiring component, specifically designed by Raymarine for integration with Volvo Penta IPS systems.

The E70241 cable comes with a connector on one end and is unterminated on the other, allowing for custom termination during installation.

No, the Volvo E70241 motor cable is sold separately. Other components, such as the Volvo Penta autopilot interface kit (part number 3819744), are required separately for a complete installation.

This cable is specifically designed to be compatible with Volvo Penta IPS propulsion systems.

The Volvo Penta IPS autopilot system, which uses this cable, is compatible with Raymarine autopilot control units from the ST6001, ST7001, and ST8001 ranges.

No, thanks to the inclusion of the IPS S3G Course Computer base pack, which includes a Course Computer and a fluxgate compass, there is no need to install a separate autopilot drive unit or rudder angle sensor.

The Raymarine Data Processing Unit (DPU) to which this cable connects must NOT be connected to the NMEA 2000 bus. The system uses SeaTalk, SeaTalk2, and NMEA 2000 buses, but the DPU itself has specific restrictions.

For a complete installation, you will need the Volvo Penta autopilot interface kit (reference 3819744). This kit includes a bridge, a Y-split cable (Volvo Penta reference 3588206), assembly instructions, and hose clamps.

The DPU is powered via the SeaTalk connection. It is critical not to connect any other power source to the DPU to avoid damaging the system.

Use high-quality cable glands if a cable must pass through the deck.Use grommets to prevent abrasion of cables running through holes.Secure long cables so they pose no hazard.Keep cables as far as possible from fluorescent lights, motors, and radio transmission equipment, as they can cause interference.

SeaTalk cables use 3 conductors. SeaTalk2 and NMEA 2000 cables use 5 shielded conductors.

The DPU dimensions are approximately 150 mm (5.9 in) in width, 130 mm (5.12 in) in height, and 39 mm (1.53 in) in depth.

The E70241 cable is a component of the system. It is imperative to refer to the full installation instructions of the Volvo Penta IPS autopilot system and the Raymarine DPU for correct implementation, as the cable is a proprietary connection component.

Installation must be performed in accordance with Raymarine’s instructions to avoid poor performance, injury, or damage. It is strongly recommended that a Raymarine-certified service representative install this product. The DPU and S3G heading computer are not suitable for areas where fuel vapors may be present. Ensure power is disconnected before starting installation.

The cable itself is a wiring component. However, the Raymarine Data Processing Unit (DPU) it connects to is not waterproof and must be installed in a dry, protected location.

The E70241 cable is a proprietary wiring component with one unterminated end for custom connection. Any modification or extension must be carried out with extreme caution and in compliance with Raymarine and Volvo Penta technical specifications to ensure proper system operation and safety.
