Installing Evolution Autopilot on a Sailboat

Upgrading an old autopilot to a modern system is easier than many sailors expect—especially when the existing drive unit is still functional and compatible. In this video, we replace an older Autohelm system with a new Raymarine autopilot, the Evolution EV‑200, while reusing the original mechanical linear drive. Whether you sail or run a powerboat, the installation process is very similar, with only the drive unit differing between vessel types. This makes the video a valuable guide for anyone considering a boat autopilot upgrade. The Evolution system delivers smooth steering performance, reliable heading data, and seamless integration with modern onboard electronics, giving you a smarter and more capable helm.
