Raymarine Type 2 Long Linear Autopilot Drive 12V
Heavy displacement sailing yachts up to 44,000 lbs hold true course lines with a Raymarine Type 2 linear drive, which pushes an electromechanical long ram directly onto rudder quadrants, drawing up to 10A at 12V.
- Drives heavy ocean yachts up to 44000 lbs
- Electromechanical ram provides low-backdrive manual feel
- Integrated feedback sensor tracks quadrant movement
- Compatible with high-current ACU-400 course computers
Use the Raymarine Type 2 Long Linear Autopilot Drive 12V, SKU M81132, as a high-capacity electromechanical actuator for a compatible mechanically steered vessel. This is a drive unit only and requires a Raymarine ACU-400 actuator control unit, compatible control head, heading sensor, power circuit, and correctly engineered steering linkage. It is intended for boats up to 20,000 kg, or 44,000 lb, displacement.
The Type 2 Long drive provides up to 400 mm, or 16 inches, of maximum stroke. It is suitable for mechanical tiller, quadrant, and cable-steering backbones when the mounting structure and linkage geometry are designed for the load. The unit weighs 10.5 kg, draws up to 10A during active duty, and includes integrated mechanical rudder feedback.
Before Ordering
Confirm vessel displacement up to 44,000 lb, a compatible ACU-400 system, adequate 400 mm-stroke clearance, suitable tiller-arm or quadrant geometry, structural mounting points, 12V power, 10A active-duty circuit capacity, protected installation environment, and correctly sized motor and clutch wiring before purchase.
