Raymarine Evolution Hydraulic Pilot With p70Rs Control Head. ACU-150 & 1Ltr Hydraulic Pump

The Evolution ACU150 Hydraulic Autopilot System Pack is a complete autopilot-in-a-box kit that is ready to install on many popular fishing and cruising powerboats with hydraulic steering. EV-150 system is engineered specifically to meet the needs of small to medium sized hydraulically steered vessels with a steering ram capacity between 4.9 cu. in.( 80cc) and 14.0 cu in (230cc).

The EV-150 system is for 12-volt DC electrical systems only. The system comes complete with our p70Rs autopilot controller, EV1 Sensor Core, ACU150 Actuator Control Unit, Type 1 Hydraulic Pump, and an Evolution autopilot cabling kit.

EV1 Sensor Core

The EV-1 is designed for Evolution mechanical and hydraulic autopilot systems.

SeaTalk^ng networking enables a single cable connection for power and data to the Evolution ACU (actuator control unit) and extended SeaTalk^ng and NMEA2000 networks.

ACU-150

The Raymarine ACU-150 is a component of the Evolution™ Autopilot system and is designed to provide power and control to a Raymarine Type-1 Hydraulic Drive Unit (M81120.)

The ACU-150 connects to the SeaTalkng network for communication with its other peripherals. It also has connections for an optional Rudder Reference Unit (sold separately.) The ACU-150 works on 12-volt DC systems only.

Type 1 Hydraulic Pump (12V)

The Type 1 Hydraulic Pump is intended to operate the boat’s steering mechanism as part of a Raymarine autopilot system. It is primarily designed for use on boats with an existing hydraulic steering system. Alternatively, you can use this pump on a boat with mechanical steering in conjunction with a secondary steering ram.

The hydraulic pump contains a precision gear pump and a check valve driven by a servo motor.

Raymarine P70RS Autopilot Control Head (With rotary control)

The new control heads are available in two control styles. The Raymarine p70s autopilot control head is a push-button operation controller designed primarily for sailboats, while the Raymarine p70Rs autopilot control head, with its combination of push-buttons and rotary control dial, is aimed at powered craft.

Key features:

3.5” super bright oversized LCD for maximum visibility
All weather, low power, optically bonded display technology delivers brighter colours, sharper contrast, and a wide viewing angle
Button or rotary control options for sail and power applications
Supported autopilot modes: Auto; Standby; Pattern; Track; Wind Vane; Power Steer and Jog Steer
Display the pilot information in different formats with automatic 3-step setup for leisure, cruising and performance
Simple system and group dimming / illumination
Easy to use Lighthouse user interface with sculpted rubber keypad for precise operation in all conditions
SeaTalk^ng networking for seamless connectivity to Raymarine systems and NMEA2000* networks
New glass bridge industrial design compliments Raymarine eS and gS Series multifunction displays
Supplied with both black (eS Series style) & (e Series style) gunmetal bezels and protective suncover

Superior Viewing

Advanced LED backlighting offers low power consumption and delivers vibrant colour and contrast. Wide horizontal and vertical viewing angles ensure the display can be seen clearly from acute positions.

Raymarine Evolution Hydraulic Pilot With p70Rs Control Head. ACU-150 & 1Ltr Hydraulic Pump Frequenty Asked Questions:

Q. Which Raymarine Evolution Autopilot pack is right for my boat?

A. Choosing the correct pack depends on your vessel type and displacement: EV-100: Ideal for tiller, wheel, and small hydraulic systems (up to 7,500 kg), EV-150 / EV-200 / EV-300 / EV-400: Suited for larger yachts and powerboats with hydraulic or mechanical steering.

Q. Is installation of Raymarine Evolution Autopilots difficult?

A. Installation is straightforward for most DIY-savvy boat owners. Each pack includes: EV Sensor Core, ACU, Control Head, Cabling Kit. Mounting the EV Sensor Core above or below deck is simple, and SeaTalkng/NMEA 2000 connectivity ensures plug-and-play integration. For complex setups, professional installation is recommended.

Q. Do Raymarine Evolution Autopilots require calibration?

A. Minimal calibration is needed. The system auto-learns your vessel's handling characteristics during initial use. You can fine-tune rudder response, hard-over time, and vessel type via the control head or Raymarine MFD.

Q. Can I integrate Raymarine Evolution Autopilot with my chartplotter or MFD?

A. Yes. Evolution Autopilots are fully compatible with Raymarine Axiom, Element, and older MFDs via SeaTalkng or NMEA 2000. This allows route tracking, wind-based steering, and control via touchscreen.

Q. How does the EV Sensor Core improve steering accuracy?

A. The EV Sensor Core uses solid-state gyros and accelerometers to monitor vessel motion in 3D. It instantly adapts to sea state, speed, and helm input, delivering smoother course keeping than traditional fluxgate compasses.

Q. Is the Raymarine Evolution Autopilot suitable for UK coastal and offshore cruising?

A. Absolutely. Evolution Autopilots are engineered for UK waters - from Solent sailing to North Sea crossings. They maintain tight heading control in tidal streams, cross swells, and gusty conditions, making them ideal for solo or long-distance cruising.

Q. What power requirements does the Evolution Autopilot have?

A. Most Evolution systems run on 12V DC. Power draw varies by drive unit: EV-100: ~7A max, Larger ACUs may require up to 15A. Ensure your battery bank and cabling meet the system's amperage needs, especially in rough weather.

Q. What are common troubleshooting tips for Raymarine Evolution Autopilots?

A. If your autopilot isn't performing optimally: Check software updates via Raymarine MFD, Recalibrate compass if heading is erratic, Verify speed input (SOG preferred), Adjust hard-over time for better rudder control. For persistent issues, consult Raymarine's troubleshooting guide or contact our support team.

Q. Does Raymarine offer warranty and UK-based support for Evolution Autopilots?

A. Yes. Raymarine provides a 2-year standard warranty, extendable to 3 years upon product registration. UK-based support is available via authorised dealers and service centres. All units sold through CactusNav are covered under Raymarine's manufacturer warranty.
