The Raymarine RCU-1 Autopilot Remote puts complete steering control in the palm of your hand. 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.

Move freely about your boat while maintaining full command by engaging, adjusting or disengaging your autopilot using dedicated buttons - allowing you to trim sails, manage fishing gear or navigate tight spaces with ease.

Intuitive Point & Go Mode allows you to point the RCU-1 in any direction and press to create a waypoint. The autopilot will align the vessel's course to match the bearing to that waypoint. This feature lets you make spontaneous course changes with a simple gesture, ideal for quick navigation decisions.

Navigate safer, the RCU-1 incorporates Solo Sailor safety features to safeguard single-handed boaters during offshore or coastal passages. In Steer-to-Wind Mode, when enabled, if the wearer falls overboard and the Bluetooth link is lost, the autopilot automatically turns the sailboat head to wind. This provides critical time for self-recovery. A long press of your RCU-1 can also mark your location and trigger an MOB alert, prompting an emergency response.

Compact, rugged and easy to use, it’s the ultimate companion for hands-on pilot control anywhere onboard.
