Raymarine EV-100 Power Pilot Hydraulic Autopilot System with 0.5L Pump
Experience precision autopilot control with the Raymarine EV-100 Power Pilot - the intelligent hydraulic autopilot system that transforms your powerboat's steering capabilities. Engineered for smaller powerboats with hydraulic steering, this complete autopilot solution delivers aerospace-grade navigation technology in a simple, no-calibration-required package perfect for single-engine outboard applications.
Revolutionary EV-1 Sensor Core Technology
At the heart of the EV-100 Power Pilot lies the intelligent EV-1 sensor core - a breakthrough 9-axis heading sensor that utilizes aerospace guidance technology. This advanced sensor continuously adapts and evolves to changing sea conditions and vessel dynamics, ensuring precise course-keeping in all marine environments. The integrated 3-axis digital accelerometer, compass, and gyro sensors work together to monitor your vessel's motion in all three dimensions.
Hydro-Balance™ Steering Technology
The EV-100 features exclusive Raymarine Hydro-Balance™ technology that automatically adjusts for elasticity in hydraulic steering systems. This intelligent compensation system prevents steering oscillation and drive-unit hunting, delivering smooth, precise course-keeping that saves fuel and reduces engine wear while getting you to your destination faster.
