Extended Information

Evolution EV-150 Hydraulic Autopilot System Pack

The Evolution EV-150 Hydraulic Autopilot System Pack is a complete autopilot-in-a-box kit that is ready to install on many popular fishing and cruising powerboats with hydraulic steering. The system comes complete with our p70Rs autopilot controller, EV1 Sensor Core, ACU150 Actuator Control Unit, Type 1 Hydraulic Pump, and an Evolution autopilot cabling kit.

Engineered for simplicity, Raymarine's award-winning Evolution autopilots eliminate the need for complicated set up and calibration. Thanks to the intelligent 9-axis EV sensor core, the autopilot automatically evolves and adapts to your vessel's steering characteristics without any user adjustments. The result is precise and confident course keeping, regardless of vessel speed or sea conditions.

The Evolution EV-150 system also employs Raymarine's patented Hydro-Balance™ technology which delivers superior autopilot performance for hydraulically steered boats, particularly those with outboard motors and rudder-reference less systems. Hydro-Balance automatically compensates for hydraulic system elasticity, steering system asymmetry, and torque steer to keep your boat on-course at trolling speed, cruising speed, and all-out running.

Anglers will also love the Evolution Autopilot's built-in trolling patterns. Let the autopilot work the boat while you prep bait, set your lines and adjust your spread.

The system is also equipped with Raymarine latest Evolution TrackIQ™ algorithms which deliver tighter track-keeping and faster track acquisition. It also uses information on vessel pitch, roll, yaw and heave to stabilize GPS navigation data like course over ground, speed over ground and cross track error for the best possible tracking to waypoints and routes.

The Raymarine EV-150 Hydraulic Autopilot System Pack is the ideal autopilot for small to medium sized hydraulically steered vessels with a steering ram capacity between 4.9 cu. in. (80cc) and 14.0 cu in. (230cc). The system is for 12-volt DC electrical systems only.

Hydro-Balance™ technology for Evolution Autopilots

Introducing Hydro-Balance™

Hydro-Balance™ Technology is an all new, patent-pending software update that delivers superior autopilot performance on boats with hydraulic steering, and particularly on boats with rudder reference-less steering and outboard motors.

Hydro-Balance is available for FREE, to all Evolution owners

It’s easy to add Hydro-Balance™ Technology to any existing Evolution™ autopilot system via a simple software upgrade.

What does Hydro-Balance™ do?

Hydro-Balance’s powerful algorithms can automatically detect and compensate for 3 common challenges

Challenge: Hydraulic System Elasticity (or Flex) is caused by the air bubbles trapped in the boat’s steering system components creating variation in the movements of the system. Elasticity changes the overall volume of the hydraulic system and makes it difficult or impossible for conventional autopilots without a rudder reference transducer to accurately measure the actual rudder (or motor) angle.

Solution: Evolution’s new Hydro-Balance algorithm can quickly and accurately gauge the amount of elasticity when the system is engaged, and then compensate for it automatically. This ensures that boats without a rudder-reference track straight without any heading oscillation or drive hunting. It also improves the accuracy of the virtual rudder angle display on the boats autopilot controllers and rudder data displays.

Challenge: Steering System Asymmetry caused by Unbalanced Hydraulic Cylinders cause the boat’s rudders or outboards to turn faster in one direction than the other.

Solution: Evolution’s new Hydro-Balance algorithm figures out the difference in fill-rate between a port-turn and a starboard-turn, and compensates accordingly. This makes for straight tracking without any over-correction or oscillation.

Challenge: Asymmetrical Torque Steer (aka Propeller Walk) causes the bow of the boat to veer to port or starboard at trolling speeds and during rapid acceleration.

Solution: Evolution’s Hydro-Balance algorithm, in combination with its ultra-sensitive EV Sensor Core can sense the side-force caused by propeller walk and factor it in to the boat’s autopilot steering to ensure the heading is rock-solid during trolling, acceleration, and on occasions where the boat’s engines are not turning at the same speed (on twin or multi-engine vessels.)

Race, cruise or fish - Evolution will take command

No fuss, easy to install and robust - the Evolution autopilot combines Raymarine's autopilot expertise, FLIR Systems' R&D, and advanced aerospace guidance technology to create Evolution Ai control algorithms that deliver a new level of accurate autopilot control.

Key Features

Automagic™ - No lengthy calibration procedures to perform. No compass calibration required. Plug and play connections
Easy to install - Freedom from the restrictions of conventional heading sensors. EV sensor core can be installed above or below deck. Install upside-down or off the vessel's centre line.
Aerospace technology - 9-axis precision monitoring of pitch, roll, yaw and heading
Fuel efficient - Evolution autopilots steer so accurately they will save fuel and get you to your destination faster

The EV Sensor Core

At the centre of every Evolution system is the intelligent EV sensor core, a 9-axis sensor that monitors vessel motion in all three dimensions. The innovative EV sensor core combines advanced solid-state sensors with the Evolution autopilot processor into a single easy-to-install housing.

Mount the EV sensor core above or below decks, the rugged enclosure is fully sealed and built to IPX6 and IPX7 waterproofing and submersion standards.

EV Sensor Core Benefits

Precision monitoring of heading, pitch, roll, and yaw allowing the autopilot to evolve instantly as sea conditions and vessel dynamics change.
Flexible installation options. Mount above or below deck.
Simple SeaTalk^ng connectivity to the control head and ACU.
Solid state sensor technology delivers dynamic accuracy to within 2 degrees in all conditions.
Auto-compensation for on board magnetic fields and reliable heading accuracy in the northern and southern extremes.
Fast and reliable heading data for MARPA, radar overlay, and heading modes on Raymarine multifunction displays.

ACU-150

The Raymarine ACU-150 is a component of the Evolution™ Autopilot system and is designed to provide power and control to a Raymarine Type-1 Hydraulic Drive Unit (M81120.)

The ACU-150 connects to the SeaTalkng network for communication with its other peripherals. It also has connections for an optional Rudder Reference Unit (sold separately.) The ACU-150 works on 12-volt DC systems only.
