Configuring the GHP 12
The GHP 12 must be configured and tuned to your boat dynamics.
Use the dockside wizard and the sea trial wizard on the GHC 10 to
configure the GHP 12. These wizards walk you through the necessary
configuration steps.
Dockside Wizard
Notice
If you perform the dockside wizard while your boat is out of the water,
provide rudder-movement clearance to avoid damage to the rudder or
other objects.
You can complete the dockside wizard while your boat is in or out of
the water. If your boat in the water, it must be stationary while you
complete the wizard.
Performing the Dockside Wizard
Notice
If you have a boat with a power assist steering system, turn on the
power assist before performing the dockside wizard to avoid damaging
the steering system.

Calibrating the Rudder
NOTE:
If an error appears during these steps, the rudder feedback
sensor may have reached its limit. Make sure the feedback sensor has
been installed correctly. If the problem persists, bypass this error by
moving the rudder to the farthest position that does not report an error.
1. Position the rudder so that the boat would steer fully starboard and
select
OK
.
2. After the starboard calibration is complete, position the rudder so
that the boat would steer fully port and select
OK
.
3. After the port calibration is complete, center the rudder position, let
go, and select
Begin
.
The autopilot will take control of the rudder.
4. Wait while the autopilot calibrates the rudder.
