Raymarine EV-100 Tiller Pilot Pack
- Brand:
- Raymarine
- Part no:
- T70153
A tiller drive run by Raymarine's Evolution electronics, rated for tiller-steered sailboats up to 6,000 kg displacement, read against the fully laden weight. Raymarine says its Evolution tiller drive is suitable for local coastal sailing only; for offshore use it advises considering a larger drive with ample spare capability and making sure a backup system is in place. The electronics are the EV-1 sensor core, both heading sensor and course computer, and the ACU-100. Raymarine's T70153 pack lists the p70s control head, so check which head is in the box. Raymarine's EV-1 manual lists an ACU power cable as essential and not supplied, calls its M81105 rudder reference (sold separately) highly recommended, and strongly recommends installation by an authorized Raymarine service representative, tying full warranty benefits to it.
Our take
This suits a tiller-steered sailboat up to 6,000 kg (13,200 lb) displacement, and the maker says to use fully laden weight when you check. You get the sensor core, control head and tiller drive in one pack, and the maker says it needs no calibration. The drive removes for storage. It runs on 12 V only and is no fit for wheel boats or heavier tiller boats.
