It combines the Evolution autopilot processor with a 9-axis solid-state sensor package in one sealed unit, monitoring heading, pitch, roll, and yaw so the autopilot can react to vessel motion and changing sea conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis sensor core works on a 12 V dc supply with an operating voltage range of 10.8 V dc to 15.6 V dc and draws 30 mA. The housing is sealed for exposed marine locations, with IPX6 and IPX7 protection noted for washdowns and temporary submersion, and it can be mounted above or below deck depending on the layout of the helm, network backbone, and steering system.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eKey features\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e9-axis sensing monitors vessel motion in three dimensions, including heading, pitch, roll, and yaw.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDynamic heading accuracy within 2 degrees helps support autopilot steering, radar overlay, MARPA, and heading modes on compatible Raymarine displays.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSeaTalkng connectivity links the sensor core into Raymarine Evolution autopilot networks.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDedicated CAN Bus connection supports direct integration with compatible steer-by-wire systems, including ZF Pod Drives, Yamaha Helm Master, Volvo IPS, and SeaStar Solutions Optimus systems.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSingle CAN Bus connection can remove the need for a separate Autopilot Control Unit in supported drive-by-wire installations.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSealed enclosure supports above-deck or below-deck mounting where space, service access, and magnetic interference need to be considered.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompact body measures 140 mm in diameter with a depth of 35 mm including the mounting enclosure, or 95 mm including the wall bracket.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLow NMEA 2000 network load with LEN 1 and power consumption of 30 mA.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch6\u003eInstallation and setup\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe EV-2 should be positioned where it has a stable relationship to the boat and is kept away from unnecessary magnetic interference. The sealed housing gives installers flexibility for helm, console, locker, or protected cockpit locations, while the included mounting hardware supports deck or wall-bracket mounting.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor drive-by-wire steering systems, the direct CAN Bus connection is the key installation difference. On compatible systems, the EV-2 can communicate with the steering system without adding a separate ACU, which reduces wiring and makes the autopilot layout cleaner.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eElectrical and system integration\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe unit connects to Raymarine SeaTalkng and operates from a 12 V dc system. It is suited to boats already using Raymarine multifunction displays, Evolution autopilot components, or SeaTalkng network cabling, especially where heading data is also used for radar overlay, MARPA target tracking, and autopilot heading control.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eMarine use cases\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis sensor core is a strong match for powerboats and modern helm systems that use electronic steering rather than a conventional mechanical or hydraulic autopilot drive setup. It suits coastal cruising, offshore running, and fishing boats where accurate motion sensing and fast heading data matter at the helm.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eWhat’s included\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMounting trim\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEV unit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSealing ring\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMounting tray\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSealing ring\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWall mounting bracket\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eScrews for deck or bracket mounting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eScrews for wall bracket\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDocumentation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSeaTalkng spur cable, 1 m\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Raymarine","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52024072208565,"sku":"QBP772313","price":2699.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0977\/8171\/1029\/files\/1330601_qbp772313.jpg?v=1780192098","url":"https:\/\/www.qualityboatparts.com\/products\/qbp772313","provider":"Quality Boat Parts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
