With the ACU-100 Raymarine brings the exceptional performance of Evolution Autopilots to sport boats, runabouts and smaller cruising yachts.
Specifically designed to complement Raymarine’s unique wheel-drive and tiller-drive applications, the ACU-100 provides a powerful and secure interface between steering systems and the revolutionary EV-1 course computer and 9-axis sensor.
As a true world-first innovation, the ACU-100 is fully sealed so may be mounted above decks on boats where space is limited.

Selecting an Autopilot Control Unit (ACU)
The rugged ACU (Actuator Control Unit) delivers reliable autopilot drive power and also provides power to the SeaTalkng bus. Choose the ACU that fits your steering type:
| Autopilot Control Units | Supported Drives |
| ACU-100 (this product) | Wheel, tiller and 0.5 ltr Hydraulic |
| ACU-150 | Type-1 Hydraulic Drive Unit |
| ACU-200 | Type 1 Raymarine hydraulic, linear and rotary mechanical drives |
| ACU-300 | For solenoid controlled steering systems and Raymarine constant running hydraulic pumps |
| ACU-400 | Type 2 and 3 Raymarine hydraulic, linear, and rotary mechanical drives |
Your Raymarine Evolution autopilot system
EV-1 Cockpit and Inboard Autopilots
EV-1 autopilots consist of a Control Head, EV-1 Sensor, Autopilot Control Unit (ACU) and drive unit. The drive unit (inboard mechanical/ hydraulic or cockpit mounted) and correct ACU for your vessel is dependent on the steering system and displacement of the vessel itself.
