Autopilot Control Unit (ACU)

The rugged ACU (Actuator Control Unit) delivers reliable autopilot drive power and also provides power to the SeaTalkng bus. Choose the ACU that fits your steering type:

	Supported Drives
ACU-100	Wheel, tiller and 0.5 ltr Hydraulic
NEW: ACU-150	Type-1 Hydraulic Drive Unit
ACU-200	Type 1 Raymarine hydraulic, linear and rotary mechanical drives
ACU-300	For solenoid controlled steering systems and Raymarine constant running hydraulic pumps
ACU-400	Type 2 and 3 Raymarine hydraulic, linear, and rotary mechanical drives

EV Sensor Core Benefits

Precision monitoring of heading, pitch, roll, and yaw allowing the autopilot to evolve instantly as sea conditions and vessel dynamics change.
Flexible installation options. Mount above or below deck.
Simple SeaTalkng connectivity to the control head and ACU.
Solid state sensor technology delivers dynamic accuracy to within 2 degrees in all conditions.
Auto-compensation for on board magnetic fields and reliable heading accuracy in the northern and southern extremes.
Fast and reliable heading data for MARPA, radar overlay, and heading modes on Raymarine multifunction displays.

Autopilot Control

p70 / p70R and the new p70s / p70Rs autopilot control heads

Complete your Evolution autopilot system with an autopilot control. The new p70s and p70Rs control heads feature vibrant colour displays and are powered by Raymarine’s intuitive LightHouse user interface.

LightHouse organises all options into simple menu structures and with Evolution’s quick setup process you will be up and running in minutes.

Designed for sailing yachts, the p70s offers simple 1 and 10 degree direct course change push buttons.

The p70Rs features a rotary dial control for power boaters. Use the rotary dial for menu and course changes or activate power steer mode and steer manually right from the p70Rs.

Autopilot control from Raymarine MFDs

Control your Evolution Autopilot directly from your Raymarine aSeries, cSeries, eSeries or gS Series multifunction display. Note that your multifunction display must be running Raymarine’s LightHouse II software and that some autopilot functionality may not be available if your system does not include a dedicated autopilot control head.

Proven technology to suit your needs

Like a trusted extra crewmember always ready to take the helm, Simrad marine autopilot solutions free your hands from the wheel so you can relax and easily operate other instruments while underway.

With our modular components, you can build an autopilot system in just a few steps:

Select a drive unit compatible with your boat’s steering system.
Choose a rudder feedback unit, or Simrad Virtual Rudder Feedback.
Select the autopilot computer that matches your drive unit.
Choose how you want to control your autopilot system – from dedicated controllers to Simrad multifunction display integration.

We make it easy with a range of complete, full-featured AP44 system kits, and core-component packs (just choose a drive unit and controller). Offering great value for smaller powerboats, Simrad Outboard Pilot and DrivePilot™ packs include complete autopilot systems designed exclusively for on-screen control from your existing Simrad multifunction display.

Drive Units

A drive unit moves the rudder or outboard. A rudder feedback measures the position of the rudder. Both work with an autopilot computer to control a vessel’s steering. The units you need depend on the size of your boat and the sort of steering system it has.

Autopilot Computer

The autopilot computer sits below deck and is the core part of an auto steering system. It takes your current heading and rudder position, works out how to move the rudder or outboard, and relays steering information to controllers and displays.

Autopilot Controller

Choose a dedicated Autopilot Controller and display, integrate with multifunction displays, and add wired or remote controllers for maximum ease of use and convenience.
