Installing the Shadow Drive Sensor
Connecting the Shadow Drive Sensor to the Hydraulic System
Before you can install the Shadow Drive sensor, you must select a location at which to connect the Shadow
Drive sensor to the hydraulic steering of your boat (
Shadow Drive Sensor Mounting Considerations, page 8 ).
For further assistance, consult the hydraulic-layout diagrams ( Hydraulic Layouts, page 9 ).
Use hydraulic connectors (not included) to install the Shadow Drive sensor in the appropriate hydraulic line.
Connecting the Shadow Drive Sensor to the CCU
1 Route the bare-wire end of the CCU cable to the Shadow Drive sensor.
If the cable is not long enough, extend the appropriate wires using 28 AWG (0.08 mm²) wire.
2 Using a water-tight connection method, connect the cables based on this table.

Installing the Alarm
Before you can mount the alarm, you must select a mounting location ( Alarm Mounting and Connection
Considerations, page 8 ).
1 Route the alarm cable to the bare-wire end of the CCU cable.
If the cable is not long enough, extend the appropriate wires with 28 AWG (0.08 mm
2
) wire.
2 Using a water-tight connection method, connect the cables based on this table.

3 Secure the alarm with cable ties or other mounting hardware (not included).
NMEA 2000 and the Autopilot Components
A dedicated helm control is not included in all autopilot packages. If you install the autopilot without a dedicated
helm control, the autopilot CCU must be connected to the same NMEA 2000 network as a compatible Garmin
chartplotter to configure and control the autopilot system.
NOTICE
If you are connecting to an existing NMEA 2000 network, identify the NMEA 2000 power cable. Only one NMEA
2000 power cable is required for the NMEA 2000 network to operate properly.
A NMEA 2000 Power Isolator (010-11580-00) should be used in installations where the existing NMEA 2000
network manufacturer is unknown.
You can connect the CCU and the optional helm control through an existing NMEA 2000 network. If you do not
have an existing NMEA 2000 network on your boat, all the parts needed to build one are supplied in the autopilot
package (
Building a Basic NMEA 2000 Network for the Autopilot System, page 17 ).
To use the advanced features of the autopilot, optional NMEA 2000 devices, such as a GPS device, can be
connected to the NMEA 2000 network.
If you are unfamiliar with NMEA 2000, you should read the Technical Reference for NMEA 2000 Products at
garmin.com/manuals/nmea_2000 .
