RCU-1 Wireless Autopilot Remote

The Raymarine RCU-1 Autopilot Remote puts complete steering control in your palm. Designed exclusively for Raymarine Evolution autopilots, the RCU-1 works with both sailing and powerboats and connects wirelessly to your vessel’s NMEA 2000 / SeaTalk NG network via the WG-1 Bluetooth gateway. With intuitive modes like Point-and-Go and Solo Sailor safety features, the RCU-1 makes navigation smarter, safer, and more convenient. Compact, rugged, and easy to use, it’s the ultimate companion for hands-on pilot control anywhere onboard.

The WG-1 gateway is required for all RCU-1 installations. The Starter Kit includes the WG-1 for a new installation. Remote Only adds an RCU-1 to a system that already has a WG-1, which supports up to 3 RCU-1 remotes at once.
