Raymarine EV-400 Sail Evolution Autopilot System

Description

The Raymarine EV-400 Sail Evolution Autopilot System eliminates hazardous tracking drift and manual helm strain on large ocean-going cruising sailboats, luxury blue-water sailing yachts, and large displacement racing hulls. Operating on an adaptive 12 Volts or 24 Volts DC electrical grid, this high-current core autopilot package automates punishing rudder corrections during volatile open-ocean storm transitions. Skipper teams can maintain absolute tracking control confidently, letting the high-output computing control unit handle massive mechanical steering stresses smoothly.

Featuring an intelligent EV-1 Sensor Core 9-Axis Attitude Heading Reference System, the internal processors track static and dynamic compass deviations better than plus or minus 1 degree to optimize rudder adjustments. The advanced ACU-400 computing motherboard delivers an impressive 30 Amps continuous output to drive heavy-duty linear rams, hydraulic pumps, or rotary units without power faults. Procuring this premium United Kingdom-built sail evolution pack upgrades multi-instrument networking, and it comes protected under a 3-Year limited warranty policy to secure your maritime investment from unexpected repair downtime.
