The EV-100 Wheel Pilot is a complete autopilot solution for wheel-steered sailboats. Designed for do-it-yourself installations, the EV-100 Wheel Pilot's externally mounted drive mounts in the cockpit, attached directly to the spokes of the boat's steering wheel. The EV-100 Wheel Pilot delivers precision autopilot control using the intelligent EV-1 sensor core and the ACU-100 actuator control unit.
