Hi everyone! Quick questions for those who had experience with the raymarine evolution 100 wheel. Does the current model still make a loud noise while operating?

Well, it depends on your definition of loud.

Then, it depends on what's moving the boat.

According to my definition of loud: with the motor on: no. Under sail: no, but it's definitely noticeable and some people would surely consider it annoying.

A small price to pay, under sail,, in my opinion.

This makes it clearer. I couldn't find any videos with its sound. Thanks!
