Frequently Asked Questions
What boats is the Raymarine EV-100 Tiller Autopilot suited for?
It's ideal for tiller-steered sailboats with a maximum displacement of 13,200 pounds (6,000 kg), perfect for daysailers to mid-sized cruisers.
Does the EV-100 require calibration during setup?
No, the intelligent EV-1 Sensor Core and Evolution AI eliminate traditional calibration, enabling quick commissioning.
Can I use a chartplotter instead of the p70s control head?
Yes, pair it with Raymarine Axiom or compatible MFDs via SeaTalkng or NMEA 2000 for full autopilot control without the dedicated head.
Is the tiller drive removable for storage?
Absolutely, the compact drive detaches easily from the cockpit mount, making it stowable for racing or trailering.
What networking options does the EV-100 support?
SeaTalkng and NMEA 2000 compatibility allows integration with instruments, chartplotters, and multifunction displays for shared data.
How accurate is the heading data from the EV-1 Sensor Core?
It provides dynamic accuracy within 2 degrees across all conditions, supporting advanced features like radar overlay and stable autopilot steering.
What autopilot modes are available on the p70s?
Modes include Auto, Standby, Pattern, Track, Wind Vane, Power Steer, and Jog Steer, tailored for sailboat handling.
The EV-100 Tiller Pilot is a complete autopilot solution for tiller-steered sailboats. Designed for DIY installations, the EV-100 Tiller Pilot's externally mounted drive mounts in the cockpit, attached to the tiller. The EV-100 Tiller Pilot delivers precision autopilot control using the intelligent EV-1 sensor core and the ACU-100 actuator control unit. EV-100 Tiller Pilot systems are available with a p70s autopilot control head, or choose a system without a control head and use a Raymarine Axiom chartplotter for complete autopilot control.
