Evolution AI - The culmination of Raymarine’s 30 years of autopilot expertise, FLIR Systems research and development, and advanced aerospace guidance technology, Evolution AI control algorithms deliver a new level of accurate autopilot control. This innovative breakthrough in autopilot intelligence enables Evolution autopilots to perceive their environment and then instantly calculate and evolve steering commands to maximise performance. The result is precise and confident course keeping, regardless of vessel speed or sea conditions.

The EV Sensor Core - At the centre of every Evolution system is the intelligent EV sensor core, a 9-axis sensor that monitors vessel motion in all three dimensions. The innovative EV sensor core combines advanced solid-state sensors with the Evolution autopilot processor into a single easy-to-install housing. Mount the EV sensor core above or below decks, the rugged enclosure is fully sealed and built to IPX6 and IPX7 waterproofing and submersion standards.

The Raymarine Evolution Autopilot System combines advanced aerospace guidance technology with Raymarine’s marine autopilot expertise to provide a new level of autopilot control and reliability. Raymarine has over-shot the expectations for sure making the Evolution Series one of the most advance Autopilots on the market yet keeping the interface as intuitive to operate as any other.

Evolution autopilots employ what engineers at Raymarine call Evolution “AI Control” Algorithms, which enable them to “perceive their environment” to instantly calculate and “evolve” a set of steering commands maximizing performance. The result is precise and confident course tracking, regardless of vessel speed or sea conditions keeping cash in your pocket and not at the fuel dock.

Setting-up an Evolution Autopilot takes around 30 seconds because there is no calibration required. First select the boat type – large power, small power, or sail; then select the drive type – hydraulic, mechanical, or outboard; finally you’ll choose the performance level – performance, cruise, or leisure. It’s just that easy to get setup and you’re ready to hit the open water.

At the heart of the Evolution autopilot system you’ll find the ultra-compact, EV sensor core which is a 9-axis heading sensor and full function course computer all in one. The EV is about the size of a typical marine GPS sensor and can be either bracket-mounted or flush-mounted horizontally. The durable sensor is built to IPX6 and IPX7 standards; and with superior engineering put into the EV’s design it can be installed above or below decks.

Engineered for simplicity, Raymarine"s award-winning Evolution autopilots eliminate the need for complicated set up and calibration. Thanks to the intelligent 9-axis EV sensor core, the autopilot automatically evolves and adapts to your vessel"s steering characteristics without any user adjustments. The result is precise and confident course keeping, regardless of vessel speed or sea conditions.

The Evolution EV-150 system also employs Raymarine"s patented Hydro-Balance™ technology which delivers superior autopilot performance for hydraulically steered boats, particularly those with outboard motors and rudder-reference less systems. Hydro-Balance automatically compensates for hydraulic system elasticity, steering system asymmetry, and torque steer to keep your boat on-course at trolling speed, cruising speed, and all-out running.

Anglers will also love the Evolution Autopilot"s built-in trolling patterns. Let the autopilot work the boat while you prep bait, set your lines and adjust your spread.

The system is also equipped with Raymarine latest Evolution TrackIQ™ algorithms which deliver tighter track-keeping and faster track acquisition. It also uses information on vessel pitch, roll, yaw and heave to stabilize GPS navigation data like course over ground, speed over ground and cross track error for the best possible tracking to waypoints and routes.

The Raymarine EV-150 Hydraulic Autopilot System Pack is the ideal autopilot for 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 system is for 12-volt DC electrical systems only.

Boats with traditional hydraulic steering systems will use an Evolution autopilot driven by a hydraulic pump. The pump connects to the boat"s hydraulic steering lines and allow the autopilot to steer the boat by controlling the flow of fluid through the boat"s steering system. The hydraulic pump is controlled by the Evolution autopilot Actuator Control Unit (ACU.)

Thankfully, electronics companies have taken steps in the past five years to simplify autopilots, making them more effective and easier to set up and integrate with your other digital fishing tools. But before we go forward, let’s go back.

For many years, outboard-powered boats, which comprise the majority of recreational-fishing vessels, made for a difficult autopilot platform. Autopilots must know which way the lower unit and prop on an outboard are turning to control its direction. For years they achieved that using a standard rudder-feedback unit.

For instance, Simrad’s new NSS evo2 multifunction displays offer full pilot control and full integration with other display functions. “One of the best demonstrations of integration is when you’re shorthanded fishing: Think of the pilot as fully integrated with your plotter and fish finder. You can mark a spot on your fish finder (when you troll over a baitball, for instance), and the autopilot can take you back to that mark,” says Mike Fargo, product-line director for Simrad. “You used to have to know the heading you wanted or put in a waypoint and tell the pilot to go there. Now you can tell it to go ‘here’ on the sounder. You take out that extra step.”

A traditional autopilot also required a lot of calibration, Raymarine’s McGowan says. If the autopilot is installed without a sea trial, the boating angler must take on that chore. Calibration involves a compass swing, which means repeatedly circling the boat at a specific speed, allowing the heading sensor to detect the deviation aboard the boat. Then the angler must help the autopilot learn the boat’s turning behaviors by conducting repeated incremental turns.

McGowan explained that this technology sprang from two innovations. First, Raymarine improved the autopilot’s algorithms for steering and sensing, drawing from its parent company FLIR’s proprietary knowledge about motion control. FLIR makes thermal cameras like the ones used by many police helicopters; those cameras must focus on a ground target and keep it in view regardless of how the target turns.

Raymarine’s new Hydro-Balance technology looks at the inherent issues within hydraulic-steering systems — such as air in the lines and hose flexibility, which can cause the boat to wander — and teaches the autopilot to compensate.

Furuno’s NAVpilot 700 first emerged with a Fantum Feedback mode, using algorithms that provide the autopilot computer with course-adjustment information over time. “We take the output from the compass, and we differentiate it over time to dial in steering and predict what’s happening on the boat,” says Eric Kunz, Furuno senior product manager.

Furuno then initiated Safe Helm, adding two sensors that tell the computer when the steering wheel has been moved and in which direction. That mode suspends the autopilot when the captain grabs the wheel to avoid an obstacle, then re-engages the system.

Kunz saw an easy jump from Safe Helm to Power Assist mode, which involves bolting Furuno’s power-steering module on top of Accu-Steer pumps. With the sensors and the module, steering effort is greatly reduced.

Garmin’s SmartPump really shines with larger, multiple-outboard boats that generate heavier steering loads. The 400-watt brushless motor packaged with the hydraulic pump is much more powerful than industry-standard motors at 50 watts and below.

SmartPump also introduces safety features: Its brushless motor dissipates heat better, and the motor simply stops running if it experiences an amplifier failure, while other motors might initiate a dangerous hard-over turn.

Garmin also built SmartPump to detect the displacement of steering cylinders, so captains don’t even have to know what size hydraulic-steering pump they’re running.

As with all marine electronics, autopilot systems will likely evolve again by the time this column hits newsstands. So what’s next? Voice-recognition steering?

A typical autopilot setup includes control heads at the helms, a hydraulic pump, NMEA 200 network, a course computer and a heading sensor (not shown).

Most marine-electronics companies — including Simrad, with its NSS evo2 (pictured) — now provide full autopilot control through multifunction display units.

Garmin’s GHP 20 autopilot system with SmartPump — featuring a 400-watt brushless motor — plus a GHC 20 helm control unit, a course computer, Shadow Drive and NMEA 2000 connections.
