raymarine autopilot hydraulic pump in stock
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.
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.)
Hydraulic linear drive systems are self-contained hydraulic steering systems that allow Evolution autopilots to steer heavy displacement vessels with mechanical steering. Hydraulic linear drive systems consist of a high-performance reversing hydraulic pump, hydraulic steering ram, fluid reservoir and hydraulic lines. The system comes filled, bled and ready-to-install.
The included hydraulic steering ram will be anchored to the boat"s structural members, and attaches to the rudder stock via an independent tiller arm. Accessory fittings from your steering system manufacturer may be required.
The Type 2 configuration is suitable for vessels with up to 22,000 kg (48,000 lbs.) displacement. All Linear Hydraulic Drive systems require an Evolution ACU-400 actuator control unit.
