component. Hydraulic connections are not shown in this diagram. 

Item Description

Important Considerations

GHC 10

In order for the autopilot to turn on, the yellow wire from the GHC 10 data cable must be connected to the yellow wire 

from the CCU/ECU interconnect cable, and the black wire from the GHC 10 data cable must be connected to the 

same ground as the ECU (

page 12

).

CCU

The CCU must be installed in the front half of the boat, no higher than 10 ft. (3 m) above the waterline.

NMEA 2000 network The GHC 10 and the CCU must be connected to the NMEA 2000 network using the included T-connectors (

page 12

). 

If there is not an existing NMEA 2000 network on your boat, you can build one using the supplied cables and 

connectors (

page 13

).

12-24 Vdc battery

The ECU can be connected to a 12–24 Vdc power source.

The NMEA 2000 power cable must be connected to a 9–16 Vdc power source.

ECU

The ECU can be connected to either a 12 or a 24 Vdc battery.
