E12207 Type 2/12V Hydraulic Linear Drive Unit (Raymarine Autopilot)

The Raymarine Type 2 hydraulic linear drive (12V) is designed for autopilots on medium-displacement boats running on 12-volt systems. It is suitable for vessels up to 22,000 kg and delivers the same reliable hydraulic drive technology as the 24V version, but tuned for the 12V electrical systems common on smaller and mid-size boats. The system includes a powerful ram, 12V hydraulic pump, fluid reservoir, and mounting hardware, all pre-assembled and filled with hydraulic fluid. It installs under the deck and connects to the steering via an independent tiller arm.

Why choose this drive unit:

• Perfect for 12V vessels: ideal for yachts and cruisers (~33–50 ft) with a 12V onboard network that need a hydraulic autopilot solution offering strong performance in a compact package
• High performance: delivers smooth and powerful steering control comparable to larger systems, meeting rudder demands in heavy weather and during tight maneuvers
• Easy integration: compatible with the Raymarine ACU-400 control unit for full drive management and protection. This pairing ensures optimal current supply and pump control under 12V operation
• Reliability: built with Raymarine’s renowned quality for long service life and dependable operation. Professional installation is recommended to ensure proper bleeding of the hydraulic lines and correct autopilot calibration
