Raymarine RCU-1 Wireless Autopilot Remote (Remote Only)

The Raymarine RCU-1 puts control of an Evolution autopilot in your hand. Wear it on the supplied lanyard or leave it in its cradle, and you can engage the pilot, make course changes and drop back to standby while trimming sails, working on the foredeck or tending fishing gear, at up to around 30 m (clear line of sight) from the gateway.

The colour screen is readable in direct sunlight and can show up to six pages of NMEA 2000 data such as heading, speed, depth and wind. Point and Go lets you aim the remote in the direction you want to head and set the pilot onto that course. For single-handed sailors, Solo Sailor mode turns the boat head to wind if the remote loses its connection while the pilot is steering to wind, and a Lost Connection MOB alarm can alert the crew if the person carrying the remote goes over the side. The handset is rated IP67 and runs on two AA batteries.

This listing is the RCU-1 handset only (A80835), for boats that already have a WG-1 Wireless Gateway, or as an extra remote: one WG-1 supports up to three RCU-1s. If you do not yet have a gateway, choose the RCU-1 with WG-1 kit (E70718), which comes pre-paired. The RCU-1 works only with Raymarine Evolution autopilots (EV-1 or EV-2 sensor on software v3.21 or later) and cannot be the only controller in the system. If you are not sure your autopilot is compatible, get in touch and our team will advise before you order.
