Connecting the Drive Unit to a Garmin

Garmin autopilot to install the autopilot components and to
connect the drive unit to the correct component.
Maintenance
To maximize the life of your drive unit, these maintenance
guidelines should be observed.
• The cylinder rod should be kept free from damage.
• The drive unit should not be exposed to salt water.
• The mounting hardware and the tiller-bolt hardware should
be inspected on a regular basis, and any components should
be tightened if necessary.
• The rod end and the tiller bolt should be kept lubricated with
marine-grade grease. Only high-quality marine grease that is
compatible with nitrile seals should be used.
