Item Description CCU Å ECU power Æ cable CCU cable Ç Pump È Alarm É Shadow Drive valve Important Considerations You can mount the CCU in a non-submerged location near the center of the boat, in any orientation (CCU Mounting and Connection Considerations, page 1). Mount the CCU away from sources of magnetic interference. You must connect the ECU to a 12 to 24 Vdc power source. To extend this cable, use the correct wire gauge (Power Cable Extensions, page 4). To extend this cable to reach the ECU, you may need to use cable extensions (sold separately) (CCU Mounting and Connection Considerations, page 1). You must connect this cable to the alarm and the Shadow Drive valve. This diagram shows only the electrical connections for the pump (sold separately). Detailed installation instructions are included with the pump. The alarm provides audible alerts from the autopilot system, and you should install it near the primary helm station (Installing the Alarm, page 5). You must install the Shadow Drive valve properly in the hydraulic steering line, and connect it to the CCU cable (Installing the Shadow Drive Valve, page 5). Item Description CCU Ä NMEA 2000 Å network Important Considerations You can mount the CCU in a non-submerged location near the center of the boat, in any orientation (CCU Mounting and Connection Considerations, page 1). Mount the CCU away from sources of magnetic interference. You must connect the helm control or compatible Garmin chartplotter and the CCU to a NMEA 2000 network using the included T-connectors (NMEA 2000® Connection Considerations, page 2). If there is not an existing NMEA 2000 network on your boat, you can build one using the supplied cables and connectors (Building a Basic NMEA 2000 Network for the Autopilot System, page 5).

If needed, specific connection diagrams are included in the detailed installation instructions for each component. Hydraulic connections are not shown in this diagram. Item Description Helm control À Pump Á ECU  12 to 24 Vdc à battery Important Considerations A dedicated helm control is not included in all autopilot packages. If you install the autopilot without a dedicated helm control, the autopilot CCU must be connected to the same NMEA 2000 network as a compatible Garmin chartplotter to configure and control the autopilot system. You must connect the ECU to a 12 to 24 Vdc power source. To extend this cable, use the correct wire gauge (Power Cable Extensions, page 4). You must connect the NMEA 2000 power cable to a 9 to 16 Vdc power source. NOTE: This diagram is for planning purposes only. If needed, specific connection diagrams are included in the detailed installation instructions for each component. Hydraulic connections are not shown in this diagram.
