Installing a Garmin Rudder Feedback Sensor

If you installed a drive unit provided by Garmin, rudder feedback 

data is provided by the drive unit, and a separate rudder 

feedback sensor is not required. If you are connecting the 

autopilot to a drive unit not sold by Garmin, you must also install 

a rudder feedback sensor, such as the GRF 10 (sold 

separately).

Follow the installation instructions provided with your GRF 

rudder feedback sensor to connect it to your rudder control 

and autopilot system.

Connecting to an Existing Rudder Feedback Sensor

If you connected the autopilot to a drive unit not sold by Garmin, 

and you plan to connect to a rudder feedback sensor not sold by 

Garmin, you must use a rudder feedback cable to connect your 

sensor to the GHP Reactor Mechanical autopilot. This cable is 

sold separately.

NOTE: 

The GHP Reactor Mechanical autopilot is compatible 

with a typical three-terminal, potentiometer-type rudder feedback 

sensor only. The system does not work with a frequency-based 

rudder feedback sensor.

1

If necessary, use the installation instructions provided with 

the rudder feedback sensor to install it on your boat.

2

If your rudder feedback sensor has cables connected, 

disconnect the cables.

3

Consult the documentation provided by the manufacturer of 

your rudder feedback sensor to identify the connections on 

your rudder feedback sensor.

4

Connect the rudder feedback cable (not included) to your 

drive unit, based on the wire colors and functions in the table.
If necessary, the cable can be extended using 22 AWG 

(0.33 mm

2

) wire.

Red

Rudder feedback positive (+)

Connect the rudder feedback cable to the ECU.

Connecting the CCU

1

Route the connector end of the CCU cable to the ECU and 

make the connection.

2

Route the red and blue wires from the bare-wire portion of 

the CCU cable to the location where you plan to install the 

alarm (

Installing the Alarm

).

If the cable is not long enough, extend the appropriate wires 

with 0.08 mm

2

 (28 AWG) wire.

3

Route the brown and black wires from the bare-wire portion 

of the CCU cable to the location where you plan to install the 

Shadow Drive

 () (optional).

If the cable is not long enough, extend the appropriate wires 

with 0.08 mm

2

 (28 AWG) wire.

If you do not plan to install the Shadow Drive, cut and tape 

the brown and black wires.

Installing the Alarm

Before you can mount the alarm, you must select a mounting 

location (

Alarm Mounting and Connection Considerations

).

1

Route the alarm cable to the bare-wire end of the CCU cable.
If the cable is not long enough, extend the appropriate wires 

with 28 AWG (0.08 mm

2

) wire.

2

Connect the cables, based on this table.

Alarm Wire Color

CCU Cable Wire Color

3

Solder and cover all bare-wire connections.

4

Secure the alarm with cable ties or other appropriate 

mounting hardware (not included).

NMEA 2000 and the Autopilot Components

NOTICE

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

should already be connected to power. Do not connect the 

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 helm control and 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 autopilot package (

Building a Basic 

NMEA 2000 Network for the Autopilot System

).

To use advanced features of the autopilot, optional NMEA 2000 

devices, such as a GPS device, can be connected to the NMEA 

2000 network.
If you are unfamiliar with NMEA 2000, you should read the 

“NMEA 2000 Network Fundamentals” chapter of the 

Technical 

Reference for NMEA 2000 Products
