Common Question of Raymarine Type 2 Linear
What is the Type 2 Drive?
The Raymarine Type 2 Linear Drive is a 12V autopilot drive for compatible linear-steering systems. It moves the steering linkage under autopilot control. Confirm rudder loads, stroke, mounting geometry, control computer, feedback, battery, and marine autopilot controller compatibility before installation.
What voltage does it use?
It uses 12 volts according to the product listing. Confirm battery capacity, cable gauge, fuse or circuit breaker, current draw, polarity, grounding, control connections, and mounting requirements before wiring.
Is it an anchor windlass?
No. The Type 2 Linear Drive controls compatible steering and does not handle chain, rope, gypsy, or anchor drums. It is not an electric anchor windlass. Verify separate equipment for marine anchor retrieval.
