Autopilot for Wheel Steered Sailboats

The EV-100 Wheel Pilot is a complete autopilot solution for wheel-steered sailboats. Designed for do-it-yourself installations, the EV-100 Wheel Pilot's externally mounted drive mounts in the cockpit, attached directly to the spokes of the boat's steering wheel. The EV-100 Wheel Pilot delivers precision autopilot control using the intelligent EV-1 sensor core and the ACU-100 actuator control unit. EV-100 Wheel Pilot systems are available with p70s autopilot control head, or choose a system without a control head and use a Raymarine Axiom chartplotter for full autopilot control. 

EV-100 Wheel Pilot Key Features

  • Rated for wheel-steered sailboats up to 16,500 lbs (7,500kg) displacement 
    • Tech Tip:  Remember to always take your vessel's fully laden displacement weight into account (often 20% above the designed displacement).
  • Designed for cockpit installations.
  • SeaTalkNG/NMEA2000 for networking with sailing instruments and chartplotters
  • Requires no complicated setup or autopilot calibration. 
  • Includes the EV-1 sensor core. An intelligent 9-axis heading sensor that uses aerospace guidance technology to adapt and evolve to changing sea conditions and vessel dynamics
