The Raymarine EV-2 Sensor Core sits at the heart of every Evolution autopilot system, combining a 9-axis motion sensor with the Evolution autopilot processor in one compact, sealed housing. Designed for the latest drive-by-wire steering systems, the EV-2 connects directly to Raymarine's SeaTalkng bus and includes a dedicated CAN Bus port for direct integration with steer-by-wire platforms — eliminating the need for a separate Autopilot Control Unit (ACU). Mount it above or below decks; the enclosure meets IPX6 and IPX7 waterproofing and submersion standards.
