GHP 10  Installation Instructions

3.  If you will be cutting the hole with a jigsaw instead of a 3

17

/

32 

in. (90 

mm) hole saw, use a 

3

/

in. (10 mm) drill bit to drill a pilot hole as 

indicated on the template to begin cutting the mounting surface. 

4.  Using the jigsaw or the 3.5

 

in. (90 mm) hole saw, cut the mounting 

surface along the inside of the dashed line indicated on the flush-

mount template.

5.  If necessary, use a file and sandpaper to refine the size of the hole.
6.  Place the GHC 10 into the cutout to confirm that the four mounting 

holes are correct.

7.  Select an option:

•  If the mounting holes are correct, proceed to step 8.
•  If the mounting holes are not correct, mark the correct locations 

of the four mounting holes.

8.  Remove the GHC 10 from the cutout.
9.  Drill the four 

1

/

8

 in. (3.2 mm) pilot holes. 

  If you are mounting the GHC 10 in fiberglass, use a countersink bit 

as advised in the notice.

10. Remove the remainder of the template.
11. Place the GHC 10 into the cutout.
12. Securely fasten the GHC 10 to the mounting surface using the 

supplied screws.

  If you are mounting the GHC 10 in fiberglass, use a anti-galling 

lubricant as advised in the notice.

13. Snap the mounting covers 

 into place.

Connecting the GHC 10

For the autopilot system to function correctly, you must connect two 

wires from the GHC 10 data cable (yellow and black).
1.  Connect the yellow wire from the GHC 10 data cable to the yellow 

wire from the CCU/ECU interconnect cable.

  If the cable is not long enough, extend the yellow wire with 22 

AWG (.33 mm

2

) wire.

2.  Connect the black wire from the GHC 10 data cable to the same 

ground location as the ECU.

  If the cable is not long enough, extend the black wire with 22 AWG 

(.33 mm

2

) wire.

3.  Solder and cover all bare-wire connections.

Multiple GHC 10 Considerations

You can install multiple GHC 10 devices (sold separately) to control the 

autopilot from different locations on the boat.
•  All additional GHC 10 devices must be at software version 3.0 or 

later.

•  All additional GHC 10 devices must be connected to the 

NMEA 2000 network (

page 12

).

•  To use an additional GHC 10 to turn on the autopilot, connect the 

yellow and black wires from the additional GHC 10 to the same 

wires as the primary GHC 10.

 ◦ If you connect additional GHC 10 devices to turn on the 

autopilot, you must turn them all off to turn off the autopilot.

 ◦ If you do not connect an additional GHC 10 to turn on the 

autopilot, then the additional GHC 10 enters standby mode when 

you turn it off, and the autopilot remains on until turned off by 

the primary GHC 10.

Connecting the Devices to a nMEa 2000 

network

Notice

If you have an existing NMEA 2000 network on your boat, it should 

already be connected to power. Do not connect the included NMEA 

2000 power cable to an existing NMEA 2000 network, because only 

one power source should be connected to a NMEA 2000 network.
You can connect the GHC 10 to the CCU 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 GHP 10 

package (

page 13

).

To use advanced features of the GHP 10, optional NMEA 

2000-compatible devices, such as a GPS device, can be connected to 

the NMEA 2000 network. 
For more information on NMEA 2000, go to 

www.garmin.com

.

Connecting the GHC 10 to an Existing nMEa 2000 

network

1.  Determine where to connect the GHC 10 

 to your existing NMEA 

2000 backbone 

 (

page 5

).

2.  Disconnect one side of a NMEA 2000 T-connector from the 

network.

3.  If necessary, to extend the NMEA 2000 network backbone, connect 

a NMEA 2000 backbone extension cable (not included) to the side 

of the disconnected T-connector.

4.  Add the included T-connector 

➌ 

for the GHC 10 to the NMEA 

2000 backbone by connecting it to the side of the disconnected 

T-connector or backbone extension cable.

5.  Route the included drop cable 

 to the bottom of the T-connector 

added in step 4, and connect it to the T-connector.

  If the included drop cable is not long enough, you can use a drop 

cable up to 20 ft. (6 m) long (not included). 

6.  Connect the drop cable to the to the GHC 10.
