Raymarine EV-DBW Evolution Autopilot for Drive-by-Wire System - T70164

The Raymarine EV-DBW Evolution Autopilot (T70164) is a specialized autopilot system designed for vessels equipped with drive-by-wire steering. Unlike traditional mechanical or hydraulic systems, this kit interfaces directly with the boat's digital steering bus (such as Volvo Penta IPS, Yamaha Helm Master, or Yanmar VC10), eliminating the need for a physical drive unit or rudder reference sensor in most installations.

Intelligent 9-Axis Tracking

The heart of this system is the EV-1 Sensor Core, which utilizes aerospace-grade technology to monitor your boat's movement in all three dimensions.

  • Evolution AI: This intelligent algorithm allows the autopilot to perceive its environment and instantly calculate steering commands, meaning the system evolves and improves its accuracy as you handle the boat.

  • 9-Axis Stabilization: By monitoring pitch, roll, and yaw, the sensor compensates for sea conditions and hull dynamics without the need for a complicated setup or "sea trial" calibration. 

  • Simplified Installation: Since it communicates digitally with your steering system, the installation is much faster and requires significantly less hardware and cabling than traditional autopilot setups.

System Components & Control

The T70164 kit is a complete "core" package that includes the essential networking and sensing components to get your digital steering system under autopilot control.

  • EV-2 Sensor Core: Specifically designed for drive-by-wire systems, it connects directly to the SeaTalkng network and the vessel's steering interface.

  • p70s Control Head: A high-brightness pushbutton controller optimized for sailors and powerboaters who prefer tactile control.

  • Evolution Cabling Kit: Includes the SeaTalkng backbone, power cables, and terminators needed to establish the data network.

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.

Pack Includes:

EV-2 for Drive-by-Wire Propulsion
EV-2 is designed for the latest drive-by-wire steering systems
EV-2 connects directly to Raymarine's SeaTalkng bus
It also has a dedicated CAN Bus port for direct connection to steer-by-wire steering systems:

  • ZF Pod Drives
  • Volvo IPS* and Volvo Aquamatic
  • Teleflex Optimus Systems
  • Yanmar VC10 and JC10 (Joystick) Control Systems


A single CAN Bus connection to the EV-2 eliminates the need for an ACU, further simplifying installation

*Optional Volvo IPS gateway required and additional cabling
