Raymarine EV-100 Tiller Autopilot, For Tiller Sailboats up to 13,200 lbs, 12V, NMEA 2000, p70s Control

Overview

The Raymarine T70153 is a complete EV-100 Tiller Pilot autopilot pack for tiller-steered sailboats up to 13,200 lb or 6,000 kg displacement. It combines the EV-1 sensor core, ACU-100 actuator control unit, p70s sailboat control head, tiller drive, and SeaTalkng cabling needed to add hands-free steering to a compatible 12 V DC sailing system.

This system is made for cockpit installations where the external tiller drive mounts to the tiller and can be removed when it is not in use. The EV-1 sensor uses 9-axis heading, pitch, roll, and yaw sensing to help the pilot adapt to changing sea state and vessel movement without complicated calibration.

SeaTalkng and NMEA 2000 networking let the pilot work with compatible Raymarine instruments and chartplotters, while the p70s control head gives sailors push-button access to standby, auto, track, wind vane, and course adjustment functions from the cockpit.

Key features

• Complete tiller autopilot pack for tiller-steered sailboats up to 13,200 lb or 6,000 kg displacement.
• Built for 12 V DC systems, with EV-100 operating voltage in the 10.8 V DC to 15.6 V DC range.
• EV-1 sensor core monitors heading, pitch, roll, and yaw so the pilot can respond to real boat movement underway.
• ACU-100 actuator control unit drives the tiller pilot and supports a maximum continuous drive current output of 7 A at supply voltage.
• SeaTalkng and NMEA 2000 networking support integration with compatible sailing instruments and chartplotters.
• p70s control head has a 3.45 inch TFT LCD display, dedicated 1 degree and 10 degree course-change keys, and push-button operation suited to sailboat use.
• Cockpit-mounted tiller drive attaches directly to the tiller and can be removed and stored when the boat is under manual helm control.
• No complicated autopilot calibration is required, which helps keep installation and commissioning manageable for capable DIY owners.

Compatibility and fit

This pilot is for tiller-steered sailboats, not wheel-steered yachts or hydraulic steering systems. The 13,200 lb displacement rating should be checked against the boat as actually loaded for cruising, including fuel, water, batteries, stores, anchors, safety gear, and other onboard weight.

It is a practical match for small cruising sailboats, club racers, and coastal boats where reducing helm workload matters during longer tacks, motoring passages, or steady-course sailing. For boats already using Raymarine SeaTalkng or compatible NMEA 2000 equipment, the network connection can also support tighter integration with instruments and chartplotters.

Installation and setup

The tiller drive mounts externally in the cockpit and connects to the tiller with the supplied tiller pin and mounting socket hardware. The drive can be unplugged and removed when not needed, which keeps the cockpit easier to move through at the dock or under manual steering.

The EV-1 sensor core and ACU-100 are part of the system backbone, with SeaTalkng cabling used for power and data connections between the pilot components. The p70s control head should be mounted where the helm can see and operate it without reaching across the cockpit during sail handling or course changes.

Electrical and network integration

The EV-100 Tiller Pilot is intended for 12 V DC boats. It is not a 24 V autopilot pack, so vessels with 24 V electrical systems need the correct Raymarine configuration and power arrangement before installation.

SeaTalkng gives the system a clean path into a Raymarine network, and NMEA 2000 compatibility helps it share data with suitable marine electronics. In a sailing installation, this can support autopilot control from the p70s head and, when properly integrated, steering functions that use heading, navigation, and wind data from connected equipment.

Many products sold by Apollo Lighting include a manufacturer's warranty covering defects in materials or workmanship. Warranty terms vary by brand, product category, and model, so eligibility, coverage duration, exclusions, and available remedies are determined by the applicable manufacturer. We recommend reviewing the warranty information provided with your product before installation or use, especially for marine electronics, navigation equipment, lighting, electrical systems, pumps, safety equipment, and other specialized marine products.

If you need warranty service, the claim must follow the process established by the manufacturer, authorized service center, or designated warranty provider. You may be asked for proof of purchase, a serial number, product registration, photos, maintenance or installation records, or other documentation. Apollo Lighting does not determine or modify a manufacturer's warranty coverage or final claim decision, but we are happy to help provide purchase information and direct you to the appropriate manufacturer or warranty resource.

Keep your receipt, product documentation, serial number information, and original packaging when practical. Damage caused by normal wear, misuse, improper installation, insufficient maintenance, corrosion, impact, unauthorized modifications, electrical issues, or operation outside the manufacturer's specifications may not be covered. Warranty claims are separate from standard returns, so a product that has been installed, used, or exposed to marine conditions may no longer qualify for return while still remaining eligible for evaluation under the manufacturer's applicable warranty.
