Autopiloti L/stroke LIN juhtimismooduli moodul

Product N005 is a replacement motor module for Raymarine linear long-stroke autopilot rams. It is not the complete ram, but the drive unit (motor and gearbox) that allows you to refurbish your existing installation without replacing the entire mechanical arm.

No, this module is specifically designed as a spare part for Raymarine long-stroke linear actuators (Long Stroke), typically Type 2 models. It is not compatible with Type 1, Type 3 actuators, hydraulic actuators, or wheelpilots.

Replacing this module is an intermediate-level operation. It requires basic mechanical and marine electrical skills. If you are not comfortable with disassembling parts and handling electrical connections on your boat, it is recommended to have a qualified technician perform the work.

Replacing only the motor module is a more economical and faster solution. This allows you to keep the mechanical arm and the existing mounts on your boat, thus avoiding complex disassembly and a higher purchase cost for a complete cylinder.

This module is suitable if your sailboat is equipped with a Raymarine Type 2 long-stroke linear actuator. These systems are typically installed on sailboats with a displacement of up to 20,000 kg. You must check the reference of your current actuator to confirm compatibility.

Yes, absolutely. After replacing the drive unit, it is imperative to perform a full commissioning and calibration procedure of the autopilot. This includes dockside settings (Dockside Wizard) and sea trials to ensure optimal performance and maximum safety.

The N005 long-stroke linear drive module weighs approximately 1.786 kg.

Yes, this is an official replacement part manufactured by Raymarine. Using an original part ensures perfect compatibility, maintains the performance of your autopilot, and extends the lifespan of your installation.

Common symptoms of a faulty module include:

The motor no longer turns despite the system being powered. Abnormal mechanical noises (squeaking, clunking) coming from the ram. Unusual slowness or weakness in rudder movements.The autopilot disengages while displaying an error related to the motor or an overcurrent.

No, this module is designed to operate exclusively within the Raymarine ecosystem. It must be connected to a compatible Raymarine autopilot computer (such as the ACU-400) capable of providing the power required for a Type 2 ram.

To replace the module, you will likely need a set of standard wrenches, screwdrivers, and potentially a crimping tool and connectors for the power cables. It is advisable to refer to the installation manual of the complete linear actuator for specific details.

Yes, as part of an autopilot system installed below deck, this module is designed to withstand moisture and the typical saltwater environment of a boat. It is crucial to ensure all connections and seals are properly installed to maintain its waterproofing.

Yes, absolutely. Before any work on the autopilot system, you must disconnect the power supply at the corresponding circuit breaker or fuse to prevent any risk of short-circuit or injury.

No, this is not a complete autopilot system. The N005 is only a spare part: the motor module for an existing linear actuator. For a complete system, you also need a course computer (ACU), a rudder angle sensor, a fluxgate compass, and a control head.

The best way to identify your model is to look for a label or identification plate directly on the cylinder body. Long-stroke cylinders (Long Stroke) have a longer piston stroke than standard models. The complete cylinder reference (e.g., M81132 for the Type 2 Long Stroke) will confirm compatibility.

This module is designed to be maintenance-free. However, it is recommended to periodically check the condition of electrical connections to ensure they are clean and free of corrosion, and to visually inspect the module for any signs of water ingress.

This module is the "muscle" of the autopilot. It receives electrical commands from the computer (ACU) and converts them into powerful mechanical movement to push or pull the ram arm, which in turn actuates the boat’s rudder to maintain course.

No, this module is specifically for the long-travel version. Even if the motor may appear similar, the gears and internal settings may differ. To ensure safety and performance, it is essential to use the exact part corresponding to your actuator model.

The module is typically supplied with its own short power cables. You will need to connect these to your boat’s existing wiring leading to the autopilot computer. Ensure connections are secure, watertight, and of correct polarity.

By replacing a worn or faulty module with this new part, you will restore your autopilot’s original performance. You will regain the system’s original speed, power, and responsiveness, resulting in improved course-keeping and optimized power consumption.
