The Raymarine ACU-150 is a component of the Evolution™ Autopilot system and is designed to provide power and control to a Raymarine Type-1 Hydraulic Drive Unit (M81120.)
The ACU-150 connects to the SeaTalkng network for communication with its other peripherals. It also has connections for an optional Rudder Reference Unit (sold separately.) The ACU-150 works on 12-volt DC systems only.
To make a complete ACU-150 autopilot system you must also add the Type-1 Hydraulic Drive Unit (M81120), Evolution EV1 Sensor Core (E70096), Evolution Cable Kit (R70160) and either the p70s (E70328) or p70Rs (E70329) autopilot control head.

Selecting an Autopilot Control Unit (ACU)
The rugged ACU (Actuator Control Unit) delivers reliable autopilot drive power and also provides power to the SeaTalkng bus. Choose the ACU that fits your steering type:
| Autopilot Control Units | Supported Drives |
| ACU-100 | Wheel, tiller and 0.5 ltr Hydraulic |
| ACU-150 (this product) | Type-1 Hydraulic Drive Unit |
| ACU-200 | Type 1 Raymarine hydraulic, linear and rotary mechanical drives |
| ACU-300 | For solenoid controlled steering systems and Raymarine constant running hydraulic pumps |
| ACU-400 | Type 2 and 3 Raymarine hydraulic, linear, and rotary mechanical drives |
Your Raymarine Evolution autopilot system
EV-1 Cockpit and Inboard Autopilots
EV-1 autopilots consist of a Control Head, EV-1 Sensor, Autopilot Control Unit (ACU) and drive unit. The drive unit (inboard mechanical/ hydraulic or cockpit mounted) and correct ACU for your vessel is dependent on the steering system and displacement of the vessel itself.
