6. After the command, enter the angle of the starboard rudder position as a whole number greater than
0
and less than
180
, in degrees,
followed by
Done
. For example,
RUDDERPOS=45Done
.
7. Center the rudder.
8. Enter the following command:
“RUDDERPOS=0Done”
9. Move the rudder fully to port and observe the angle of the rudder position, in degrees.
10. Enter the following command:
“RUDDERPOS=”
11. After the command, enter the angle of the port rudder position as a whole number less than
0
and greater than
-180
, in degrees, followed by
Done
. For example,
RUDDERPOS=-45Done
.
To configure the gauge type if the menu option is not displayed:
When connected to a gauge, the GRA 10 adapter gauge type is set to
auto Detect
by default, and the adapter automatically detects the type
of gauge it is connected to. When you troubleshoot the gauge-type setting, if the rudder-angle reading on a connected Garmin chartplotter or
marine instrument changes with the engine RPM, the adapter may be detecting the wrong type of gauge.
1. From the NMEA 2000 Devices list, select the GRA 10 device.
2. Select an option:
• For most Garmin chartplotters, select
Review
>
Generic Config
.
• For other Garmin marine devices, select

.
3. Enter the following command:
“GAUGRAYPE=”
4. After the command, enter one of the following options:
• To automatically detect the gauge type, enter
0
, followed by
Done
. For example,
GAUGRAYPE=0Done
.
• To indicate a one-coil gauge, enter
1
, followed by
Done
. For example,
GAUGRAYPE=1Done
.
• To indicate a two-coil gauge, enter
2
, followed by
Done
. For example,
GAUGRAYPE=2Done
.
Restoring Factory Default Settings

GET 10 (Garmin Engine Tilt Adapter)
Note:
This section provides specific configuration information for the GET 10 adapter using your compatible Garmin display device. To
access the NMEA 2000 configuration menu on your display device, consult the documentation provided with your display device.
Calibrating the Engine Tilt
To use the GET 10 adapter, you must calibrate the tilt of the engine with which the adapter is associated.
1. Turn the boat ignition key to the On position (not Start).
2. From the NMEA 2000 Devices list, select the GET 10 device.
3. Select an option:
• For most Garmin chartplotters, select
Review
>
Engine Tilt Calibration
.
• For other Garmin marine devices, select
Config
>
Engine Tilt
Calibration
.
4. Follow the on-screen instructions to calibrate the engine tilt.
5. Select
OK
when the calibration is complete.
Configuring the Engine Number
If your boat has multiple engines, you can indicate which engine each GET 10 adapter is associated with.
