Discover effortless navigation on the water with the Raymarine EV-DBW Evolution Autopilot tailored for Volvo Penta systems. This cutting-edge digital autopilot integrates seamlessly with drive-by-wire electronic steering, delivering pinpoint accuracy whether you're cruising calm bays or tackling choppy seas. Boat owners with Volvo Penta IPS or Aquamatic propulsion swear by its responsive performance, which adapts in real-time to your vessel's movements and environmental shifts.
Engineered specifically for Volvo Penta IPS and Aquamatic setups, the EV-DBW uses direct CAN bus communication through the ECI-100 interface. This means no guesswork—just plug-and-play connectivity that pulls engine data and steering commands straight from your boat's digital backbone. Forget clunky calibrations; the system self-tunes on the water, evolving its steering algorithms based on live feedback from heading, pitch, roll, and yaw.
Compatible with 12-volt systems, it's a drop-in upgrade for modern yachts and motorboats seeking pro-level autonomy without the hassle. Network it effortlessly via SeaTalkng or NMEA2000 to your existing chartplotters and instruments, unlocking features like radar overlay, MARPA target tracking, and wind vane modes.
Unlike older hydraulic autopilots that demand constant tweaking, the EV-DBW's intelligent processor anticipates changes—like a sudden gust or swell—and adjusts proactively. This translates to tighter tracks, less crew fatigue, and arriving fresh at your destination. Real-world users report up to 10% better fuel economy on extended trips, thanks to its efficient helm management.
The p70Rs control head shines in all lighting, with optically bonded glass for glare-free views and simple dimming for night watches. Mount the compact EV-2 sensor core anywhere—above or below decks—for flexible installs on sailboats, sportfishers, or luxury cruisers.
Installation boils down to secure mounting, straightforward wiring with included Volvo-specific cables, and powering up. The system auto-learns your boat's dynamics during initial sea trials, eliminating rudder alignment or compass swings. Once networked, it shares heading data across your suite of Raymarine gear, enhancing situational awareness.
Backed by robust engineering, it handles dynamic conditions with 2-degree heading accuracy, making it ideal for everything from coastal hops to offshore adventures.
It's designed for Volvo Penta IPS and Aquamatic drive-by-wire propulsion and steering systems, ensuring direct, reliable integration.
No, the EV-2 sensor core features automatic calibration that adapts to your boat's dynamics without manual setup.
Yes, via SeaTalkng and NMEA2000, it connects seamlessly to chartplotters, instruments, and multifunction displays for shared data like heading and track.
It uses solid-state 9-axis sensors for 360-degree motion tracking, auto-compensating for interference and delivering 2-degree accuracy in rough seas.
Absolutely—its super-bright, optically bonded 3.5-inch LCD offers wide viewing angles, sharp contrast, and adjustable dimming for day or night use.
By providing precise, adaptive steering that minimizes overcorrections and throttle adjustments, it optimizes your course for smoother, more efficient travel.
Flexible options above or below decks; its sealed IPX6/IPX7 enclosure withstands the elements anywhere onboard.
