Raymarine EV-100 Wheel Evolution Autopilot Product Description
Discover Effortless Steering with the EV-100 Wheel Pilot
Imagine long passages where your sailboat holds a steady course without constant helm adjustments, letting you focus on sails, navigation, or simply enjoying the horizon. The EV-100 Wheel Pilot transforms wheel-steered sailboats into self-steering powerhouses, ideal for vessels up to 16,500 pounds displacement. This cockpit-mounted system attaches directly to your wheel spokes for a clean, non-intrusive setup that sailors praise for its reliability in varied conditions—from calm coastal cruises to spirited downwind runs.
Powered by Raymarine's Evolution AI technology, it adapts instantly to changing sea states, using solid-state sensors for pinpoint accuracy. No lengthy calibrations or professional installers needed; most boaters complete setup in a few hours, saving time and hassle.
Key Components That Drive Superior Performance
Every element works in harmony for responsive control:
- EV-1 Sensor Core: A compact 9-axis unit tracking heading, pitch, roll, and yaw with 2-degree accuracy. Mount it anywhere—above or below decks—thanks to its IPX6/IPX7 waterproofing.
- p70s Control Head: Sailboat-optimized push-button interface with a bright, anti-reflective LCD. Modes include Auto, Wind Vane, Track, and Pattern for versatile sailing tactics.
- ACU-100 Actuator Control Unit: Handles drive power efficiently at 12V, with rugged construction for marine environments.
- Wheel Drive: Robust external unit engineered for quick clutch engagement and smooth operation on most wheel diameters.
- Complete Cabling Kit: SeaTalkng backbone, spurs, terminators, and connectors for plug-and-play networking.
These pieces form a self-contained "autopilot in a box," eliminating guesswork.
Simple Installation for DIY Sailors
Position the wheel drive on your cockpit wheel spokes, secure the EV-1 sensor core nearby, connect the ACU-100 to power and drive, and link everything via SeaTalkng. The startup wizard on the p70s guides you through configuration—no rudder feedback transducer required. Boaters often mount the control head at the helm for intuitive access, integrating seamlessly with existing instruments.
Pro tip: Orient the sensor core level for optimal readings, and test in calm water first to verify response. This setup minimizes wiring clutter and supports future expansions like chartplotters.
Standout Features for Real-World Sailing
- Adaptive Evolution AI evolves steering algorithms on-the-fly, excelling in waves or wind shifts where traditional pilots falter.
- SeaTalkng/NMEA 2000 compatibility shares data with MFDs, wind sensors, and GPS for enhanced situational awareness.
- Low power draw (under 1.6W at full brightness) extends battery life on offshore adventures.
- Wind Vane mode leverages apparent wind for efficient upwind legs, a favorite among racers.
- Durable build withstands -20°C to +55°C temperatures and 93% humidity.
Sailors report it outperforms older systems in holding courses tight through chop, reducing fatigue on crewed or solo voyages.
Why It Excels for Wheel-Steered Sailboats
For mid-sized cruisers or racers (think Beneteau First 36.7 or J/105 equivalents), the EV-100 delivers hydraulic-like precision without pumps or fluids. Its external drive avoids cockpit clutter, and no-calibration design means you're steering autonomously faster than competitors requiring fluxgate compasses or extended sea trials. Integrate with Axiom plotters for touchscreen control, or keep it standalone for simplicity.
"Finally, an autopilot that thinks like a pro helmsman—game-changer for bluewater legs." – Experienced offshore sailor
Networking and Expansion Made Easy
Drop into your existing SeaTalkng or NMEA 2000 backbone for heading data to radar overlays, MARPA, or MFDs. Power the network from the ACU, supporting multiple devices without extra supplies. This connectivity future-proofs your setup for instruments like multifunction displays or AIS.

Is calibration necessary after setup?
No calibration is needed—the EV-1 sensor core uses advanced solid-state tech for immediate, adaptive performance.
Can it integrate with other Raymarine devices?
Yes, via SeaTalkng and NMEA 2000, it connects to chartplotters, instruments, and MFDs for shared data like heading and track.
What power system does it require?
It operates on 12V DC systems, with a wide range (9-16V) for reliable performance on most sailboats.
How accurate is the steering in rough conditions?
The 9-axis sensors provide dynamic accuracy within 2 degrees, adapting to pitch, roll, and yaw for steady control in choppy seas.
The EV-100 Wheel Pilot is a complete autopilot solution for wheel-steered sailboats. Designed for do-it-yourself installations, the EV-100 Wheel Pilot's externally mounted drive mounts in the cockpit, attached directly to the spokes of the boat's steering wheel. The EV-100 Wheel Pilot delivers precision autopilot control using the intelligent EV-1 sensor core and the ACU-100 actuator control unit. EV-100 Wheel Pilot systems are available with p70s autopilot control head, or choose a system without a control head and use a Raymarine Axiom chartplotter for full autopilot control.
