Autopilot control

Your display can be used to control a Raymarine Evolution-Series autopilot. The display can be used as the autopilot’s only controller, or can be used in conjunction with dedicated controllers such as p70-Series controllers.

Important

Before using your autopilot for navigation it must be correctly commissioned. For details on how to commission your autopilot refer to: Commissioning - Evolution autopilot system

The display (or data master display, when more than 1 display is connected) must be connected to the same SeaTalk NG/NMEA 2000 network as the display. Please refer to the documentation supplied with your autopilot for details on installing and connecting your autopilot to your display.

On multi-display networks, all display’s on the same Ethernet/RayNet network as the data master display can control the autopilot.
