Description
Use the Raymarine Type 2 Long Linear Autopilot Drive 12V, SKU M81132, as a high-capacity electromechanical actuator for a compatible mechanically steered vessel. This is a drive unit only and requires a Raymarine ACU-400 actuator control unit, compatible control head, heading sensor, power circuit, and correctly engineered steering linkage. It is intended for boats up to 20,000 kg, or 44,000 lb, displacement.
The Type 2 Long drive provides up to 400 mm, or 16 inches, of maximum stroke. It is suitable for mechanical tiller, quadrant, and cable-steering backbones when the mounting structure and linkage geometry are designed for the load. The unit weighs 10.5 kg, draws up to 10A during active duty, and includes integrated mechanical rudder feedback.
Key Specifications
- Raymarine Type 2 Long 12V linear drive, SKU M81132.
- Drive-only component requiring a separate ACU-400, control head, sensors, and complete autopilot system.
- Designed for mechanically steered vessels up to 20,000 kg, or 44,000 lb, displacement.
- Provides up to 400 mm, or 16 inches, of linear actuator stroke.
- Connects to compatible mechanical tiller arms, quadrants, or engineered cable-steering linkage systems.
- Uses an integrated mechanical rudder-feedback tracker.
- Maximum active-duty current draw is 10A on a 12V DC electrical system.
- Weighs 10.5 kg and carries an IPX5 splash-protection rating.
Mechanical Installation
A linear actuator requires precise installation geometry. Verify full rudder travel, drive stroke, steering-arm radius, pivot locations, clearance through the entire steering range, structural mounting strength, and manual steering operation before installation. Incorrect geometry can overload the drive, restrict travel, or damage steering components.
The drive must be controlled by a compatible ACU-400. Use Raymarine’s applicable installation documentation to size motor and clutch wiring according to cable-run length, expected current, and voltage-drop limits. Do not install the drive where it will be exposed beyond its IPX5 environmental rating.
Before Ordering
Confirm vessel displacement up to 44,000 lb, a compatible ACU-400 system, adequate 400 mm-stroke clearance, suitable tiller-arm or quadrant geometry, structural mounting points, 12V power, 10A active-duty circuit capacity, protected installation environment, and correctly sized motor and clutch wiring before purchase.
