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

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.

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.
