Raymarine EV100 Sailboat Wheel Pilot with P70S Control

The Raymarine EV100 Sailboat Wheel Pilot with P70S Control is a marine autopilot system designed for serious cruising sailors and coastal navigators who require reliable, hands-free steering in various offshore and inland conditions. This integrated system combines a dedicated wheel pilot mechanism with the P70S control head, providing the precision autopilot control that professional mariners rely on for extended passages.

The EV100 wheel pilot features a below-deck drive mechanism that connects to your existing steering wheel, translating hydraulic or electrical actuation into smooth, repeatable helm corrections. It responds to magnetic compass heading, GPS waypoints, or wind reference input, ensuring accurate directional control. The P70S control panel offers real-time course deviation feedback, mode selection, and gain adjustment, allowing skippers to fine-tune autopilot responsiveness for different sea states.

Cruising sailors upgrading from manual helm operations will find this system enhances crew efficiency during long hauls. It is particularly beneficial for those with space constraints below deck, although installation may vary based on the specific steering system of the vessel. The EV100 is compatible with wheel-steered sailboats, both monohull and multihull, making it a versatile choice for a range of sailing applications.
