GHP 20 Installation Instructions

GHC 10 Installation

Install the GHC 10 by flush-mounting it in the dashboard near the helm,  

and connecting it to a NMEA 2000 network.
To use advanced features of the GHP 20, optional NMEA 

2000-compatible or NMEA 0183-compatible GPS devices, can be 

connected to the NMEA 2000 network or connected to the GHC 10 

through NMEA 0183.

Mounting the GHC 10

Notice

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.
If you are mounting the GHC 10 in fiberglass, when drilling the 

four pilot holes, it is recommended to use a countersink bit to drill a 

clearance counterbore through only the top gel-coat layer. This will 

help to avoid any cracking in the gel-coat layer when the screws are 

tightened.
Stainless-steel screws may bind when screwed into fiberglass and 

overtightened. Garmin recommends applying an anti-galling, stainless 

anti-seize lubricant to the screws before installing them.
Before you can mount the GHC 10, you must select a mounting location 

(

page 5

). 

1.  Trim the flush-mount template and ensure it will fit in the location 

where you plan to mount the GHC 10.

  The flush-mount template is included in the product box, not in 

these instructions.

  The flush-mount template has adhesive on the back.
2.  Remove the protective liner from the adhesive on the back of the 

template and apply it to the location where you plan to mount the 

GHC 10. 

3.  If you will be cutting the hole with a jigsaw instead of a 3

17

/

32 

in. (90 

mm) hole saw, use a 

3

/

in. (10 mm) drill bit to drill a pilot hole as 

indicated on the template to begin cutting the mounting surface. 

4.  Using the jigsaw or the 3.5

 

in. (90 mm) hole saw, cut the mounting 

surface along the inside of the dashed line indicated on the flush-

mount template.

5.  If necessary, use a file and sandpaper to refine the size of the hole.
6.  Place the GHC 10 into the cutout to confirm that the four mounting 

holes are correct.

7.  Select an option:

•  If the mounting holes are correct, proceed to step 8.
•  If the mounting holes are not correct, mark the correct locations 

of the four mounting holes.

8.  Remove the GHC 10 from the cutout.
9.  Drill the four 

1

/

8

 in. (3.2 mm) pilot holes. 

  If you are mounting the GHC 10 in fiberglass, use a countersink bit 

as advised in the Notice.

10. Remove the remainder of the template.
11. Place the GHC 10 into the cutout.
12. Securely fasten the GHC 10 to the mounting surface using the 

supplied screws.

  If you are mounting the GHC 10 in fiberglass, use a anti-galling 

lubricant as advised in the Notice.

13. Snap the mounting covers 

 into place.

Connecting the GHC 10

Connect the GHC 10 to the NMEA 2000 network using the included 

NMEA 2000 drop cable (

page 8

).

Multiple GHC 10 Considerations

You can install multiple GHC 10 devices (sold separately) to control the 

autopilot from different locations on the boat.
•  All additional GHC 10 devices must be at software version 4.0 or 

later.

•  All additional GHC 10 devices must be connected to the 

NMEA 2000 network (

page 8

).

Connecting the Devices to a nMEa 2000 

network

Notice

If you have an existing NMEA 2000 network on your boat, it should 

already be connected to power. Do not connect the included NMEA 

2000 power cable to an existing NMEA 2000 network, because only 

one power source should be connected to a NMEA 2000 network.
You can connect the GHC 10 to the CCU through an existing NMEA 

2000 network. If you do not have an existing NMEA 2000 network on 

your boat, all the parts needed to build one are supplied in the GHP 20 

package (

page 10

).

To use advanced features of the GHP 20, an optional NMEA 

2000-compatible GPS device can be connected to the NMEA 2000 

network.
