Autopilot for Mechanically Steered Sailboats

The EV-200 Sail Pilot is a complete autopilot solution for mid-sized sailboats with mechanical steering.

The Sail Pilot kit includes the p70s color, pushbutton autopilot controller, EV-1 sensor core, ACU-200 actuator control unit, a Type 1 mechanical linear drive and an Evolution cabling kit.

The Type 1, 12-Volt mechanical linear drive works on boats with a maximum displacement of 11,000 kg (24,000 lbs.)

For boaters looking to upgrade an older autopilot system, we also offer an EV-200 Sail Pilot bundle without a drive unit. Upgrade to the latest Evolution autopilot technology while utilizing your existing Type 1 mechanical linear drive system.

EV-200 Sail Pilot Key Features

  • Suitable for mechanically steered sailboats up to 11,000 kg (24,000 lbs.) displacement 
  • Powerful and quiet below-decks drive system 
  • 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
