3 Carefully rotate the push rod using the screwdriver until it loosens and is no longer stuck in the tilt tube. 4 Remove the steering actuator from the tilt tube. 5 Using solvent and a wire bore brush, clean the inside of the tilt tube. 6 Using solvent and a rag, clean the push rod on the steering actuator. 7 Apply white lithium grease to the push rod, and re-install the steering actuator. Replacement Parts Replacement parts are available for this autopilot system. Contact your Garmin dealer or go to www.garmin.com for more information. Two-Way NMEA 0183 Communication Appendix NMEA 0183 Connection Diagrams The helm control is not included in all autopilot packages. A helm control must be installed in your autopilot system to connect NMEA 0183 devices according to these diagrams. If you install the autopilot without a helm control, all NMEA devices you plan to use with the autopilot system must be connected to a compatible Garmin chartplotter on the same NMEA 2000 network as the CCU. See the installation instructions provided with your chartplotter for NMEA 0183 connection information. These wiring diagrams are examples of different situations you may encounter when connecting your NMEA 0183 device to the helm control. NMEA 0183 Connection Considerations • The chartplotter provides one Tx (transmit) port and one Rx (receive) port. • Each port has 2 wires, labeled A and B according to the NMEA 0183 convention. The corresponding A and B wires of each internal port should be connected to the A (+) and B (-) wires of the NMEA 0183 device. • You can connect one NMEA 0183 device to the Rx port to input data to this chartplotter, and you can connect up to three NMEA 0183 devices in parallel to the Tx port to receive data output by this chartplotter. • See the NMEA 0183 device installation instructions to identify the transmit (Tx) and receive (Rx) wires. • You must use 28 AWG, shielded, twisted-pair wiring for extended runs of wire. Solder all connections and seal them with heat-shrink tubing. • Do not connect the NMEA 0183 data wires from this device to power ground. • The power cable from the chartplotter and the NMEA 0183 devices must be connected to a common power ground. • The internal NMEA 0183 ports and communication protocols are configured on the chartplotter. See the NMEA 0183 section of the chartplotter owner's manual for more information. • See the chartplotter owner's manual for a list of the approved NMEA 0183 sentences that the chartplotter supports.

Only One Receiving Wire If your NMEA 0183 compatible device has only one receiving wire (Rx), you must connect it to the blue wire (Tx/A) from the helm control, and leave the white wire (Tx/B) from the helm control unconnected.
