Important Safety Information
WARNING
See the Important Safety and Product Information guide in the product box for product warnings and other
important information.
You are responsible for the safe and prudent operation of your vessel. The autopilot is a tool that enhances your
capability to operate your boat. It does not relieve you of the responsibility of safely operating your boat. Avoid
navigational hazards and never leave the helm unattended.
Always be prepared to promptly regain manual control of your boat.
If your motor features a kill switch, you should know how to operate it in case of an emergency. If your motor
does not feature a kill switch, you should install one before installing the autopilot system.
Learn to operate the autopilot on calm and hazard-free open water.
Use caution when operating the autopilot near hazards in the water, such as docks, pilings, and other boats.
CAUTION
When in use, beware of hot surfaces on the heat-sink, motor, and solenoid components.
When in use, beware the risk of entrapment or pinching from moving parts.
Failure to install and maintain this equipment in accordance with these instructions could result in damage or
injury.
Installation Preparation
The autopilot system consists of multiple components. You should familiarize yourself with all of the
component mounting and connection considerations before beginning installation. You must know how the
components operate together in order to correctly plan the installation on your boat.
You can consult the layout diagrams to help understand the mounting and connection considerations.
You should lay out all of the components on the boat as you plan the installation to make sure your cables will
reach each component. If needed, extension cables (sold separately) for various components are available from
your Garmin
