{"product_id":"qbp902284","title":"Raymarine Solenoid Valve, For Raymarine Autopilots, 12V","description":"\u003ch6\u003eOverview\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Raymarine M81167 is a 12V DC solenoid valve for Raymarine Raypilot autopilot systems. It is used in marine steering installations where the autopilot needs electric valve control as part of the vessel’s hydraulic steering setup.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is not a general-purpose freshwater, fuel, or sanitation plumbing valve. It is a Raymarine autopilot component for boats using compatible Raypilot steering hardware, so the key buying check is system fit rather than pipe size alone. For a refit, repair, or replacement, match the existing autopilot system, voltage, and valve arrangement before installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eKey features\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e12V DC solenoid valve for Raymarine Raypilot autopilot applications.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUsed with hydraulic steering control where the autopilot actuates steering through a valve-controlled setup.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSuitable for marine autopilot service on vessels that already use compatible Raymarine Raypilot hardware.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUseful as a replacement component when the existing 12V Raypilot solenoid valve is worn, damaged, or being updated during steering system service.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHelps keep autopilot steering response tied to the correct electrical control voltage and steering system layout.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch6\u003eCompatibility and fit\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eConfirm that the boat’s autopilot system is a Raymarine Raypilot setup that calls for a 12V solenoid valve. Autopilot steering parts must be matched to the steering architecture on board, including the hydraulic circuit, the control electronics, and the DC supply voltage.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBefore ordering, compare the installed valve, wiring, and steering documentation for the vessel. This part should be treated as a system-specific autopilot component, not as an interchangeable plumbing valve for unrelated onboard fluid systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eInstallation and setup\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be handled with the steering system secured and depressurized as required by the vessel’s hydraulic setup. The electrical connection should be made on a protected 12V DC circuit that matches the Raypilot control arrangement.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAfter installation, the steering system should be checked for correct valve operation, leaks, smooth helm response, and proper autopilot control at the dock before the boat is tested underway.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eUse cases on board\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis valve is a practical match for owners and service technicians maintaining a Raymarine Raypilot autopilot on a powerboat or sailboat with hydraulic steering. It is most relevant during autopilot repairs, steering system troubleshooting, or replacement of a failed 12V solenoid valve in an existing Raypilot installation.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Raymarine","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52023819337909,"sku":"QBP902284","price":419.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0977\/8171\/1029\/files\/1331140_qbp902284.jpg?v=1780192015","url":"https:\/\/www.qualityboatparts.com\/products\/qbp902284","provider":"Quality Boat Parts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
