Discover the freedom of effortless navigation on your mid-sized sailboat with the Raymarine EV-200 Sail Linear Drive Evolution Autopilot. Tailored for mechanically steered vessels up to 24,000 pounds displacement, this all-in-one system transforms long passages into relaxed adventures. Imagine steering through choppy waters or holding a precise course during night watches without constant helm adjustments— that's the reliability sailors trust from Raymarine's Evolution technology.
At the heart of the EV-200 lies the groundbreaking Evolution AI, powered by a 9-axis EV-1 Sensor Core. This compact unit tracks heading, pitch, roll, and yaw with pinpoint accuracy—down to 2 degrees in any conditions. Unlike older systems that demand lengthy calibrations, it starts working instantly, adapting to your boat's unique dynamics and shifting seas. Solid-state sensors ensure durability, while IPX6 and IPX7 ratings mean it thrives above or below decks, rain or shine.
Sailors appreciate the p70s controller's straightforward pushbutton design, optimized for gloved hands and quick glances. Its vibrant LED backlighting cuts through sunlight with an anti-reflective coating and delivers 160-degree viewing angles from anywhere on deck. Dive into modes like Auto, Wind Vane, Track, or Pattern steering via the intuitive LightHouse interface. A startup wizard guides setup in minutes, and low power draw—typically just 1.6W—keeps batteries happy on extended voyages.
The ACU-200 Actuator Control Unit supplies steady power to the drive and SeaTalkng network, integrating seamlessly with your sailing instruments and chartplotters. Paired with the Type 1 mechanical linear drive, it offers powerful thrust for vessels up to 24,000 pounds. This short-stroke unit minimizes backdrive force in standby, runs quietly below decks, and achieves fast hard-over times thanks to its electromagnetic clutch and epicyclic gearbox. High performance meets efficiency, drawing minimal current even under load.
Connect everything with the included Evolution cabling kit: power cables, backbone, spurs, T-pieces, and terminators for a plug-and-play SeaTalkng or NMEA 2000 backbone. No complex wiring hassles—link to multifunction displays for MARPA radar overlays or shared heading data. It's compatible with legacy SeaTalk1 too, making upgrades straightforward without replacing your entire setup.
Owners rave about how the EV-200 handles real challenges: maintaining course in 30-knot winds, reducing crew fatigue on offshore races, or syncing with wind instruments for true wind vane mode. Its quiet operation lets you hear the sails, while the fail-safe clutch adds peace of mind. Built rugged for marine environments, it elevates your sailboat's capabilities without the noise or fuss of hydraulic alternatives.
It's ideal for mid-sized sailboats with mechanical steering and up to 24,000 pounds (11,000 kg) displacement, providing reliable performance without overwhelming smaller vessels.
No, the Evolution AI sensor core eliminates the need for traditional calibration, offering immediate accuracy via advanced 9-axis monitoring.
With 160-degree viewing angles, anti-reflective coating, and LED backlighting, it ensures clear readability from various deck positions, even in direct sunlight.
Yes, its below-decks design and efficient gearbox deliver powerful, quiet steering, minimizing noise so you can focus on sailing.
Absolutely—SeaTalkng, NMEA 2000, and SeaTalk1 compatibility allows integration with chartplotters, instruments, and MFDs for shared data like heading and radar overlays.
The kit features a power cable, 5m backbone, spur cables, 5-way connector block, T-pieces, and terminators for a complete, easy SeaTalkng network setup.
Flexible options include above or below decks; its sealed IPX6/IPX7 housing withstands submersion and harsh conditions.
The EV-200 Sail Pilot is a complete autopilot solution for mid-sized sailboats with mechanical steering. The Sail Pilot kit features the p70s color, pushbutton autopilot controller, EV-1 sensor core, ACU-200 actuator control unit, a Type 1 mechanical linear drive and an Evolution cabling kit. The Type 1, 12 Volt mechanical linear drive works on boats with a maximum displacement of 11,000 Kilogram (24,000 Pound) For boaters looking to upgrade an older autopilot system, we also offer an EV-200 Sail Pilot bundle without a drive unit. Upgrade to the latest Evolution autopilot technology while utilizing your existing Type 1 mechanical linear drive system.
EV-200 Sail Linear Drive Evolution Autopilot
Featues:
Includes:
The EV Sensor Core
At the center of every Evolution system is the intelligent EV sensor core, a 9-axis sensor that monitors vessel motion in all three dimensions. The innovative EV sensor core combines advanced solid-state sensors with the Evolution autopilot processor into a single easy-toinstall housing.
Mount the EV sensor core above or below decks, the rugged enclosure is fully sealed and built to IPX6 and IPX7 waterproofing and submersion standards.
The EV-1 is designed for Evolution mechanical and hydraulic autopilot systems. SeaTalkng networking enables a single cable connection for power and data to the Evolution ACU (actuator control unit) and extended SeaTalkngand NMEA2000 networks.
Features:
p70s Autopilot Control Head
The p70s is a push-button operation controller designed primarily for sailboats.
Superior Viewing
Advanced LED backlighting offers low power consumption and delivers vibrant color and contrast. Wide horizontal and vertical viewing angles ensure the display can be seen clearly from acute positions.
Features:
ACU-200 Autopilot Control Unit (ACU)
