The EV Sensor Core

At the heart of the Evolution system lies the intelligent EV Sensor Core, a 9-axis sensor that meticulously monitors vessel motion across all three dimensions. Combining advanced solid-state sensors with the Evolution autopilot processor, the EV Sensor Core is housed in a single, easy-to-install unit.

Designed for flexibility, the EV Sensor Core can be mounted above or below decks. Its rugged enclosure meets IPX6 and IPX7 waterproofing and submersion standards, ensuring durability in harsh marine environments.

The EV-1 is compatible with Evolution mechanical and hydraulic autopilot systems. SeaTalk^ng networking allows for a single cable connection for power and data to the Evolution ACU (Actuator Control Unit) and extends to SeaTalk^ng and NMEA2000 networks.

Features of the EV Sensor Core

• Precision monitoring of heading, pitch, roll, and yaw for dynamic autopilot adjustments
• Flexible installation options above or below deck
• Simple SeaTalk^ng connectivity to the control head and ACU
• Solid-state sensor technology with dynamic accuracy within 2 degrees in all conditions
• Fast and reliable heading data compatible with MARPA, radar overlay, and Raymarine multifunction displays

p70 Autopilot Control Head

The p70 Autopilot Control Head is a user-friendly push-button controller optimized for sailboats.

Features of the p70 Control Head

• LightHouse user interface for simple and quick operation
• Wide 160° viewing angles for better visibility
• Start-up wizard for easy pilot configuration
• Anti-reflective coating enhances visibility in bright sunlight
• Low power consumption—typically 132mA/1.6W, which is 27% less than the ST70 at x4 measured brightness
• Supports multiple autopilot modes: Auto, Standby, Pattern, Track, Wind Vane, Power Steer, and Jog Steer
• Simple system and group dimming/illumination settings
• Supports multiple data sources
• Compatible with SeaTalk^ng/NMEA2000 and SeaTalk1 connectivity without needing a bridge

ACU-100 Autopilot Control Unit (ACU)

The ACU-100 Autopilot Control Unit is a rugged device that provides reliable autopilot drive power and supplies power to the SeaTalk^ng bus. Select the appropriate ACU based on your steering system type to ensure seamless integration and optimal performance.
