NOTICE When drilling or cutting, always check what is on the opposite side of the surface. After you have planned the autopilot installation on your boat and satisfied all of the mounting and wiring considerations for your particular installation, you can begin mounting and connecting the components. Helm Control Installation You must Install the helm control by flush-mounting it in the dashboard near the helm and connecting it to a NMEA 2000 network. To use advanced features of the autopilot, optional NMEA 2000compatible or NMEA 0183-compatible devices, such as a wind sensor, water-speed sensor, or GPS device, can be connected to the NMEA 2000 network or connected to the helm control through NMEA 0183. Mounting the Helm Control NOTICE If you are mounting the device 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-seize lubricant to the screws before installing them. Before you can mount the helm control, you must select a mounting location (Helm Control Mounting Considerations). 1 Trim the flush-mount template and ensure it fits in the selected mounting location. The flush-mount template is included in the helm control product box. 2 Secure the template to the selected mounting location. 3 If you plan to cut the hole with a rotary cutting tool instead of a 90 mm (3.5 in.) hole saw, use a 10 mm (3/8 in.) drill bit to drill a pilot hole as indicated on the template to begin cutting the mounting surface. 4 Using the hole saw or rotary cutting tool, cut the mounting surface along the inside of the dashed line indicated on the template. 5 If necessary, use a file and sandpaper to refine the size of the hole. 6 Place the helm control into the cutout to confirm that the four mounting holes on the template are in the correct locations. 7 If the mounting holes are not correct, mark the correct locations of the four mounting holes. 8 Remove the helm control from the cutout. 9 Drill the four 2.8 mm (7/64 in.) pilot holes. If you are mounting the helm control in fiberglass, you should use a countersink bit as advised in the notice. 10Remove the remainder of the template. 11Place the included gasket on the back of the device. You can apply marine sealant around the gasket to prevent leakage behind the dashboard (optional). 12Place the helm control into the cutout. 13Securely fasten the helm control to the mounting surface using the supplied screws. If you are mounting the helm control in fiberglass, you should use an anti-seize lubricant as advised in the notice. 14Snap the decorative bezel into place. À Mounting the CCU 1 Determine the mounting location. 2 Using the CCU as a template, mark the two pilot hole locations on the mounting surface. 3 Using a 3 mm (1/8 in.) bit, drill the pilot holes. 4 Use the included screws to attach the CCU to the mounting surface. Connecting the CCU 1 Route the connector end of the CCU cable to the steering system connection or CAN bus and make the connection. 2 Route the orange 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 mm2 (28 AWG) wire. Connecting to the Steering System of the Boat NOTICE Do not connect the steering controller cable to a NMEA 2000 network. The autopilot requires a powered CAN bus to communicate with the steering controller. Ensure the steering controller CAN bus is properly powered and terminated. Consult the boat manufacturer if needed. The steering controller cable allows the autopilot system to communicate with the steering system of the boat through a steering controller CAN bus. Additional instructions are supplied with the CAN bus.

NOTICE
When drilling or cutting, always check what is on the opposite
side of the surface.
After you have planned the autopilot installation on your boat
and satisfied all of the mounting and wiring considerations for
your particular installation, you can begin mounting and
connecting the components.
Helm Control Installation
You must Install the helm control by flush-mounting it in the
dashboard near the helm and connecting it to a NMEA 2000
network.
To use advanced features of the autopilot, optional NMEA 2000-
compatible or NMEA 0183-compatible devices, such as a wind
sensor, water-speed sensor, or GPS device, can be connected
to the NMEA 2000 network or connected to the helm control
through NMEA 0183.
Mounting the Helm Control
NOTICE
If you are mounting the device 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-seize
lubricant to the screws before installing them.
Before you can mount the helm control, you must select a
mounting location (
Helm Control Mounting Considerations
).
1
Trim the flush-mount template and ensure it fits in the
selected mounting location.
The flush-mount template is included in the helm control
product box.
2
Secure the template to the selected mounting location.
3
If you plan to cut the hole with a rotary cutting tool instead of
a 90 mm (3.5 in.) hole saw, use a 10 mm (3/8 in.) drill bit to
drill a pilot hole as indicated on the template to begin cutting
the mounting surface.
4
Using the hole saw or rotary cutting tool, cut the mounting
surface along the inside of the dashed line indicated on the
template.
5
If necessary, use a file and sandpaper to refine the size of
the hole.
6
Place the helm control into the cutout to confirm that the four
mounting holes on the template are in the correct locations.
7
If the mounting holes are not correct, mark the correct
locations of the four mounting holes.
8
Remove the helm control from the cutout.
9
Drill the four 2.8 mm (
7
/
64
in.) pilot holes.
If you are mounting the helm control in fiberglass, you should
use a countersink bit as advised in the notice.
10
Remove the remainder of the template.
11
Place the included gasket on the back of the device.
You can apply marine sealant around the gasket to prevent
leakage behind the dashboard (optional).
12
Place the helm control into the cutout.
13
Securely fasten the helm control to the mounting surface
using the supplied screws.
If you are mounting the helm control in fiberglass, you should
use an anti-seize lubricant as advised in the notice.
