{"product_id":"raymarine-kit-installation-spx5-wheel-pilote","title":"GOIT installation kit for SPX5 Wheel","description":"\u003cp\u003e\n    Designed for installing the Raymarine SPX5 wheel drive autopilot (also known as 4000 mk2 Wheel Drive), this E15018 installation kit ensures assembly compliant with the manufacturer’s specifications. It is intended for sailboats equipped with a wheel with 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, or 8 spokes and steering systems with 1 to 3.5 turns from hard-over to hard-over. This kit is essential for the mechanical and electrical integration of the wheel drive motor, a key component of Raymarine autopilot systems.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIntegration and Compatibility\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n    The E15018 kit simplifies the installation of the SPX5 wheel drive motor, enabling optimal positioning and secure mounting. While newer systems such as Raymarine’s Evolution ACU (Actuator Control Unit) offer a modular architecture for various steering types (linear, hydraulic), the SPX5 Wheel Drive—though from an earlier generation (4000 mk2)—remains a relevant solution for medium to small vessels requiring a robust wheel drive autopilot. The kit includes the necessary hardware to adapt the wheel drive motor to various wheel spoke configurations, distinguishing it from the E15017 kit, which is specifically designed for installations on bulkheads or pedestals.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eTechnical Composition of the Kit\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n    The Raymarine E15018 installation kit provides the critical components for assembly and connection. It includes a pedestal bracket, three clamps for 16 mm spokes and three for 12 mm spokes, along with M5x16 mm tightening screws and No. 10 x ¾\" mounting screws. For preparation, 6 mm and 4 mm drill bits and a 3 mm Allen key are included. Electrical connection is ensured by a 4.5 m power cable and a cable tie with a No. 6 x ½\" screw. Two rod ends, a tiller pin, No. 8 x ¾\" cheese-head screws, two nuts, and No. 8 x ¾\" countersunk screws complete the kit for full mounting. A rudder angle sensor is also provided if specified.\n\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Raymarine","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55900426174804,"sku":"E15018","price":98.24,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0988\/3274\/4788\/files\/main-square_27035039-47f3-4e02-b864-00a90fc7cf14.jpg?v=1779377855","url":"https:\/\/skysat.fr\/en\/products\/raymarine-kit-installation-spx5-wheel","provider":"Skysat","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
