GHP 10 Marine Autopilot System Installation Instructions
Wiring the Alarm Buzzer
Wire the alarm buzzer to the CCU/ECU interconnect cable.
to wire the alarm buzzer:
1. Route the alarm-buzzer cable to the bare-wire end of the CCU/ECU interconnect cable. If the cable is not long enough, extend the
appropriate wires with 28 AWG wire.
2. Use the Alarm Buzzer Wiring Table to make the appropriate connections.

Installing the GHC 10
Install the GHC 10 by flush-mounting it in the dashboard near the helm, connecting it to the yellow CCU signal wire from the CCU/
ECU interconnect cable, and connecting it to a NMEA 2000 network. Optionally, you can connect the GHC 10 to a NMEA 2000 or
NMEA 0183-compatible GPS device to use waypoint and route data.
Mounting the GHC 10
Flush mount the GHC 10 in the dashboard near the helm.
When you select an installation location for the GHC 10, choose a location with the following characteristics:
Provides optimal viewing as you operate your vessel.
Allows easy access to the keypad on the GHC 10.
Is strong enough to support the weight of the GHC 10 and protect it from excessive vibration or shock.
Allows room for the routing and connection of the cables. There should be at least a 3-inch (8 cm) clearance behind the case.

The temperature range for the GHC 10 is from 5°F to 158°F (from -15°C to 70°C). Extended exposure to temperatures outside of this
range (in storage or operating conditions) may cause failure of the LCD screen or other components. This type of failure and related
consequences are not covered by the manufacturer’s limited warranty.
To flush mount the GHC 10:
1. The flush-mount template is included in the product box. Trim the template and ensure it will fit in the location at which you want to
flush mount the GHC 10.
2. The flush-mount template has adhesive on the back. Remove the protective liner and
apply the template to the location where you want to flush mount the GHC 10.
3. If you will be cutting the hole with a jigsaw, and not a 3

mounting surface.
4. Using the jigsaw or the 3

/
32
in. (90 mm) hole saw, cut the mounting surface along
the inside of the dashed line indicated on the flush-mount template. Use a file and
sandpaper to refine the size of the hole.
5. Place the GHC 10 into the cutout to confirm that the four mounting holes are correct
after refining the hole. If not, mark the correct locations of the four mounting holes.
Remove the GHC 10 from the cutout.
6. Using the center punch, indent the center of each of the four pilot-hole locations.
