The Raymarine EV-100 Wheel Evolution Autopilot offers a comprehensive and user-friendly autopilot solution for sailboat owners. Designed to provide superior performance and effortless operation, this autopilot system boasts several key features that enhance the sailing experience.

At the heart of the EV-100 system is the intelligent EV Sensor Core, a 9-axis sensor that meticulously monitors the vessel's motion in all three dimensions. This innovative sensor core combines advanced solid-state sensors with the Evolution autopilot processor, housed within a rugged and fully sealed enclosure that meets IPX6 and IPX7 waterproofing standards. The EV-1 Sensor Core is compatible with both mechanical and hydraulic autopilot systems, ensuring a seamless integration.

Flexibility is a hallmark of the EV-100 system, as the EV Sensor Core can be mounted above or below the deck, catering to various installation preferences. The system's SeaTalk ng networking capabilities enable a single cable connection for power and data, seamlessly integrating with the Evolution ACU (Actuator Control Unit) and extended SeaTalk ng and NMEA2000 networks.

The EV-100 system's precision monitoring of heading, pitch, roll, and yaw allows the autopilot to adapt instantly to changing sea conditions and vessel dynamics, ensuring optimal performance at all times. This dynamic accuracy, maintained within 2 degrees in all conditions, provides fast and reliable heading data for MARPA, radar overlay, and heading modes on compatible Raymarine multifunction displays.

Complementing the EV Sensor Core is the p70 Autopilot Control Head, a push-button operation controller designed specifically for sailboats. The intuitive LightHouse user interface is simple and quick to use, with wide 160° viewing angles for improved visibility. The start-up wizard guides users through the configuration process, ensuring a seamless setup experience.

The EV-100 Wheel Evolution Autopilot is engineered to accommodate wheel-steered sailboats up to 16,500 lbs (7,500 kg), making it a versatile solution for a wide range of vessels. The system's robust clutch engagement and 12V DC power requirements further simplify the installation and integration process.

In summary, the Raymarine EV-100 Wheel Evolution Autopilot is a comprehensive and user-friendly system that delivers superior autopilot performance for sailing enthusiasts.
