GHP 12 Installation Instructions

tuning a non-Garmin Drive unit

NOTE

: This does not apply to a solenoid drive unit.

If you installed a non-Garmin drive unit, you must calibrate the drive 

unit for use with the GHP 12.
1.  Center the rudder position, let go, and select 

Continue

.

  The autopilot will take control of the rudder as it tunes the drive 

unit.

2.  When the process is complete, select 

Done

.

  If you encounter an error during the tuning process, repeat the 

tuning procedure.

NOTE:

 If needed, you can further refine the tuning later (

page 20

).

testing the Steering Direction

1.  Use the arrows on the GHC 10 to test the steering direction. 
  When you select the right arrow, the rudder should turn so that the 

boat would steer to the right, and when you select the left arrow, the 

rudder should turn so that the boat would steer to the left. 

2.  Select 

Continue

.

3.  Select an option:

•  If the steering test turns the boat in the correct direction, select 

Yes

.

•  If the steering test turns the boat in the opposite direction, select 

No

.

4.  If you selected 

No

 in step 3, repeat steps 1–2.

Selecting the Speed Source

NOTE

: This procedure applies only to power planing hull and power 

displacement hull vessel types. It will not appear when configuring the 

GHP 12 for a sailboat.

Select an option:
•  If you connected a NMEA 2000-compatible engine (or engines) 

to the NMEA 2000 network, select NMEA 2000. 

•  If you did not connect a NMEA 2000-compatible engine (or 

engines), select the engine (or engines) to which you connected 

the tachometer sensor from the CCU. 

 

For a single-engine boat, select 

Tachometer - Analog Port

or 

Tachometer - Analog Starboard

, according to how you 

connected the tachometer wiring. 

•  If tachometer data is unavailable or unusable, select 

GPS data

 

as a speed source.

 

When GPS data is used as a speed source, the maximum 

speed for all vessel types must be configured.

•  If you did not connect a speed source, select 

None

.

 

If the autopilot does not perform well using None as the 

speed source, Garmin recommends connecting a tachometer 

or GPS as the speed source.

Verifying the tachometer

NOTE

: This procedure applies only to power planing hull and power 

displacement hull vessel types. It will not appear when configuring the 

GHP 12 for a sailboat.
This procedure does not appear if GPS or None is selected as the speed 

source.
1.  With the engine (or engines) running, compare the RPM readings on 

the GHC 10 with the tachometer (or tachometers) on the dashboard 

of your boat.

2.  If the values do not match, use the arrows to adjust the Pulses Per 

Rev values.

NOTE

: When you adjust the Pulses Per Rev with the arrows, there 

is a delay before the new RPM readings appear on the GHC 10. 

Ensure you wait until the GHC 10 adjusts to the new reading for 

each adjustment.

Reviewing the Results of the Dockside Wizard

The GHC 10 displays the values you chose when you ran the Dockside 

Wizard.
1.  Examine the results of the dockside wizard.
2.  Select any incorrect value and select 

Select

.

3.  Correct the value.
4.  Repeat steps 2 and 3 for all incorrect values.
5.  When you are finished reviewing the values, select 

Done

.
