This innovative system eliminates the need for a setup compass swing or calibration and doesn't require adjustment to the specific boat in which it is installed. The Evolution Autopilot employs Evolution AI™ control algorithms, allowing it to perceive the environment, instantly calculate, and evolve steering commands for maximum performance. The result is precise and confident course-keeping, regardless of vessel speed or sea conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt the core of the Evolution system are the ultra-compact EV sensor core, a nine-axis heading sensor and a full-function course computer. With a size comparable to a typical marine GPS sensor, the EV sensor core can be bracket-mounted or flush-mounted horizontally, accommodating installation above or below deck. Its IPX6 water-resistant rating ensures durability in maritime environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor vessels equipped with drive-by-wire steering systems like SeaStar Solutions Optimus 360, Volvo Penta IPS, or ZF Pod Drive, the EV-2 simplifies installation. It uses a direct DeviceNet (NMEA 2000) connection, offering seamless integration. Autopilot control is facilitated through the p70R control head. Setting up an Evolution autopilot is a quick 30-second process, involving the selection of boat type, drive type, and performance level.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNote:\u003c\/strong\u003e Evolution Autopilots communicate via SeaTalkng. A SeaTalkng to NMEA Converter Kit (E22158) may be required for connection to older Raymarine or non-Raymarine displays. Raymarine software version 1.21 is a minimum requirement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe EV-DBW model is designed for the latest drive-by-wire steering systems, connecting directly to Raymarine's SeaTalkng bus. It features a dedicated CAN Bus port for direct connection to steer-by-wire steering systems like ZF Pod Drives, Volvo IPS (requires optional Volvo IPS gateway and additional cabling), and SeaStar Solutions Optimus systems. The EV-2 sensor core integrates seamlessly with DBW systems and Raymarine multi-function displays, providing spot-on coursekeeping and route tracking. The single CAN Bus connection eliminates the need for an ACU, streamlining installation for a true plug-and-play autopilot experience.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBoat Type:\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eDrive-by-wire powerboats\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBoat Displacement:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e77,000lb.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrive Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eDBW\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eControls:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003ep70R\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDraw:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eEV-2: 30mA; Control head: 134mA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIncluded Equipment:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eEV-2 Sensor Core, p70R Control Head, Evolution Cabling Kit, Evolution EV-2 Cabling Kit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eData Interface:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eSeaTalk\u003csup\u003eng\u003c\/sup\u003e, NMEA 2000, DeviceNet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWarranty:\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eThree years (with product registration)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"RAYMARINE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47172051861784,"sku":"T70164","price":2999.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0829\/4822\/7352\/files\/14842876_A.webp?v=1699408586","url":"https:\/\/primestrengthco.com\/products\/raymarine-ev-dbw-drive-by-wire-powerboat-autopilot-system","provider":"Prime Strength Co","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
