Installation

We recommend that you consult a Raymarine approved dealer who

can specify, install and commission the correct Raymarine system for

your boat. An approved installation also carries our full worldwide 2

year warranty.

Know your boat and your steering system

The ﬁrst step in selecting a Raymarine autopilot is to choose the proper

autopilot drive unit for your vessel. Raymarine autopilot drive units

are available in an array of sizes and conﬁgurations to accommodate

various steering types and vessel displacements.

What type of steering system do you have?

To select an autopilot correctly, you will need to ﬁnd out what type of

steering system is installed on your vessel. This may involve opening

a few hatches and looking at the gear, or this can be a simple case of

consulting your boat dealer or steering manufacturer.

Raymarine SmartPilot systems accommodate hydraulic, mechanical

and power assisted stern drive systems. If you are not sure how to

determine what type of steering system is installed on your vessel,

please consult an authorised Raymarine dealer. Raymarine dealers

are very knowledgeable with a wealth of experience and have been

Raymarine trained to evaluate your boat and assist you in selecting the

right autopilot.

Drive Unit Selection

Raymarine SmartPilots connect to hydraulic steering systems using

a rugged hydraulic pump matched to the capacity of the hydraulic

steering system. To match a Raymarine SmartPilot hydraulic pump to

your vessel you need to know the size (in cc) of the hydraulic cylinder

ram(s) that is mounted to the rudder on inboard engined boats, or

mounted to the drive unit on outboard engined boats. Your steering

system documentation will have this information. Alternatively, you can

look on the cylinder ram itself for the brand and model number. Once

you know the model number, visit our website (www.raymarine.

com) and access our hydraulic cylinder ram cross-reference guide to

determine which hydraulic autopilot pump is compatible with your

vessel's hydraulic steering system.

Raymarine autopilot hydraulic pumps are available in several sizes to

accommodate the broad range of steering cylinder capacities. The table

below shows the capacity of each Raymarine hydraulic autopilot pump

when used with the corresponding SmartPilot course computers.

Hydraulic Steering Systems

• In some systems with dual steering rams in parallel, cylinder capacity is the total of both rams. Rams in series only require single capacity valve. Hydraulic steering systems with steering rams

over 500cc require our larger constant running hydraulic pump used in conjunction with SPX and SPX-SOL course computers – contact Raymarine for details.

• An authorised Raymarine dealer is best suited to installing a hydraulic autopilot system.

• Type 0.5 suitable for Volvo D4 / D6 Sterndrive applications.

Constant running pump
