It brings together the EV-1 sensor core, ACU-100 actuator control unit, and p70s control head in a 12 V Evolution autopilot package with SeaTalkng and NMEA 2000 networking. In the EV-100 wheel pilot platform, it is matched to wheel-steered sailboats up to 16,500 lb displacement when used with the correct wheel drive.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis version is centered on the electronics and helm control side of the autopilot rather than the mechanical drive. The EV-1 uses a 9-axis sensor package and mounts above or below deck, while the p70s puts the pilot controls at the helm on a 3.5 in display. For boats already set up around Raymarine pilot hardware, this package is a straightforward way to move to the Evolution system without buying another drive unit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eKey features\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNo drive unit included, for retrofitting an existing wheel-drive installation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCorepack combines the EV-1 sensor core, ACU-100 actuator control unit, and p70s sailboat control head\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSeaTalkng networking with NMEA 2000 integration for pilot data, sailing instruments, and chartplotter connection\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEV-1 sensor core uses 9-axis solid-state sensing and heading accuracy to within 2 degrees, with IPX6 and IPX7 protection\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ep70s control head uses push-button operation with a 3.5 in 320 x 240 display rated at 1,200 cd\/m2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eACU-100 runs on 12 V DC with a 10.8 to 15.6 V operating range and up to 7 A continuous drive output\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEV-100 wheel pilot platform is sized for wheel-steered sailboats up to 16,500 lb displacement when paired with the correct wheel drive\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch6\u003eCompatibility and fit\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis corepack is a good match for sailboats that already have a compatible Raymarine wheel drive in service, or for refit projects where the drive side has been sourced separately. Because the drive unit is not included, it is not a complete wheel pilot system on its own. The package is built around Raymarine Evolution architecture, so the fit question is less about helm style and more about whether the boat already has, or will receive, the correct wheel drive and a SeaTalkng network backbone.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe p70s is the sailboat version of the control head, so it fits boats where course changes, wind-based steering, and pilot control from the helm matter day to day. Available pilot modes include Auto, Standby, Pattern, Track, Wind Vane, Power Steer, and Jog Steer, with some functions depending on the rest of the networked sensors and navigation sources.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eInstallation and setup\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe EV-1 can be mounted above deck or below deck, which helps on boats where locker space and cable runs are tight. The ACU-100 houses the drive and power electronics and connects directly to the vessel's 12 V supply and steering side of the autopilot. Its drive electronics are sealed to IPX6, while the connector panel is IPX2, so the mounting location still needs normal care around washdowns and exposed spray.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt the helm, the p70s is rated IPX6 and IPX7 and is easier to read in open cockpits thanks to its bright display and wide viewing angle. On the network side, SeaTalkng keeps power and data on a single backbone and also opens the door to NMEA 2000 integration, which matters on boats already sharing heading, wind, and navigation data across multiple instruments.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eWhat's included\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEV-1 Sensor Core\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eACU-100 actuator control unit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ep70s autopilot control head\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Raymarine","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52021157757109,"sku":"QBP610448","price":1549.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0977\/8171\/1029\/files\/1330604_qbp610448.jpg?v=1780191626"},{"product_id":"qbp410404","title":"Furuno - MCU005 Keyboard for TZTouch2 \u0026 TZT2BB","description":"\u003ch4\u003eDive Deep into the MCU005 Universe!\u003c\/h4\u003e \u003cp\u003eMCU005 Keyboard for TZTouch2 \u0026amp; TZT2BB:\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch4\u003eAt a Glance:\u003c\/h4\u003e \u003cp\u003eA dedicated keyboard tailored for TZTL12F, TZTL15F, and TZT2BB.

The higher-rated model is selected for heavier boats within the stated range.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA12004: Maximum displacement 3,000 kg. This is the ST1000+ configuration for lighter tiller-steered sailboats where the fully loaded displacement stays within the 3,000 kg rating.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA12005: Maximum displacement 4,500 kg. This is the ST2000+ configuration for heavier tiller-steered sailboats where the fully loaded displacement calls for the higher rating.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch6\u003eInstallation and setup\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe pilot mounts between a fixed point on the cockpit, such as the coaming or seat area, and the boat’s tiller. The removable layout is useful on smaller sailboats because the cockpit can stay clear when the pilot is not in use, while the tiller pilot can still be connected quickly before motoring, sailing under main alone, or holding a course during short-handed maneuvers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBecause the unit is installed in the cockpit, placement should allow a clean push and pull line to the tiller, enough clearance through the steering arc, and a protected cable route to the 12 V supply and any data connections. Proper geometry is important for smooth steering response and for avoiding strain on the drive arm.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eCompatibility and fit\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis range is for tiller-steered sailboats, not wheel steering systems or below-deck hydraulic steering. The displacement rating should be checked against the boat in cruising condition, not only the published design displacement, because loaded cruising weight can be noticeably higher.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is a good match for sailors who want a cockpit autopilot for coastal cruising, short-handed sailing, trimming sails, checking navigation, or reducing fatigue on longer coastal legs. For offshore passage making or boats above the stated displacement range, a different autopilot system should be considered.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eElectrical and network integration\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe pilot connects to a 12 V DC supply and can operate independently when network data is not required. With compatible SeaTalk or NMEA 0183 data available, the unit can receive navigation information from other onboard electronics, which is useful when steering to a route or working with instrument data.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Raymarine","offers":[{"title":"3000kg","offer_id":52581983027381,"sku":"QBP897412-V1","price":599.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"4500kg","offer_id":52581983060149,"sku":"QBP897412-V2","price":749.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0977\/8171\/1029\/files\/1335197_qbp897412.webp?v=1780202043"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.qualityboatparts.com\/collections\/autopilot-controllers.oembed?page=2","provider":"Quality Boat Parts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
