Install EV-200 Power Hydraulic Evolution Auto Pilot

[scottor]

I have purchased a used 2011 - 30 ft power boat and want to install a Raymarine EV-200 autopilot system connecting to an existing system, E140W MFD, Raystar 125 GPS, 18" digital radome and a CP370.

Is the EV-200 compatible with my 2010 version E140W?
Do you have a start up procedure for this install? it appears to be a plug & play add on.
Would you also recommend that I update any down loads for the E140W?

Thank you, Scott

Welcome to the Raymarine Forum scottor,

The Evolution autopilots are indeed compatible with the E-Series Widescreen MFDs. As both of these products feature SeaTalkng communications interfaces, they are designed to be interfaced to via a powered and properly terminated SeaTalkng backbone. The Evolution Autopilots are extremely easy to commission ... just run the Dockside Wizard and then take the boat out for a deviation/handling sensing cruise. Details of the procedure may be found within the Evolution autopilot Set-up and Commissioning with p70 and p70R guide.
