25GHP 10 Marine Autopilot System Installation Instructions
Conguring the GHP 10
The GHP 10 must be congured and tuned to your boat dynamics and motor conguration. Use the Dockside Wizard and the Sea Trial
Wizard on the GHC 10 to congure the GHP 10. These wizards will walk you through the necessary conguration steps.
Advanced Conguration Power-on Procedure
Neither the wizards nor the advanced conguration options are available on the GHC 10 under normal conditions. To access the
wizards and the advanced conguration settings of the GHP 10, use the advanced conguration power-on procedure.
To access the wizards and advanced conguration options:
1. With the power off, press both the center and the right soft keys on the GHC 10.
2. While pressing the center and the right soft keys, power the GHC 10 on.
3. Press all 3 buttons until the heading screen appears. Release the buttons.
To make sure the wizards and advanced conguration options are available:
1. From the heading screen, select Menu > Setup.
2. If the option for Dealer Autopilot Conguration is available, you correctly performed the
advanced conguration power-on procedure.
The Dockside Wizard
The Dockside Wizard can be performed at the dock, before heading for open water. Power the GHC 10 on using the advanced
conguration power-on procedure. The rst time you power the GHP 10 on, you are prompted to complete a short setup sequence
on the GHC 10. Use the soft keys to select the language, the units of measure, the heading type, and the auto power-on setting if
necessary. When you complete the initial setup, you are ready to start the Dockside Wizard.
To complete the Dockside Wizard conguration:
1. After completing the initial setup, from the Heading screen, select Menu > Setup > Dealer Autopilot Conguration > Wizards >
Dockside Wizard. The Dockside Wizard welcome screen appears on the GHC 10. Select Begin to start the wizard.
2. Lock to Lock: Count the number of turns it takes your helm to go from lock to lock (fully turned port to fully turned starboard). Use
the arrows on the GHC 10 to enter the value you counted (the default is 4.5) and select Done.
3. Helm Displacement: The helm displacement is usually written on the body of the helm pump. If you are unsure, consult the
manufacturer of your boat for the helm displacement value. Use the arrows on the GHC 10 to enter the helm displacement value
(the default is 1.7 in
3
) and select Done.
4. Steering Direction: Use the arrows on the GHC 10 to test the steering direction. When you push the right arrow, the motor should
turn the boat to the right, and vice versa. Select Menu. If the steering test turned the boat in the correct direction, select Finished.
If the steering test turned the boat in the opposite direction, select Switch Directions.
5. RPM Source: Select the engine (or engines) to which you wired the tachometer sensor from the CCU. If you connected a NMEA
2000-compatible engine (or engines) to the NMEA 2000 network, select NMEA 2000. For a single-engine boat, select port.
6. Verify Tachometer: With the engine (or engines) running, compare the RPM readings on the GHC 10 with the tachometer (or
tachometers) on the dashboard of your boat. Adjust the Pulses Per Rev with the arrows if the values do not match, and then
select Done. When you adjust the Pulses Per Rev with the arrows, there is a delay before the new RPM readings appear on the
GHC 10. For each adjustment, be sure to wait until the GHC 10 adjusts to the new reading.
7. Dockside Wizard Review: The GHC 10 displays the values you chose when you ran the Dockside Wizard. If any of the values are
incorrect, use the arrow to select the value and select Select to re-enter the value. When you are nished reviewing the values,
select Done.
The Sea Trial Wizard
The Sea Trial Wizard must be performed in open water, free of obstacles. It is highly recommended to perform the Sea Trial Wizard in
calm water. Power the GHC 10 on using the advanced conguration power-on procedure. Drive the boat to calm, open water to start
the Sea Trial Wizard.
To complete the Sea Trial Wizard conguration:
1. Drive to calm, open water and select Menu > Setup > Dealer Autopilot Conguration > Wizards > Sea Trial Wizard. The Sea
Trial Wizard welcome screen appears on the GHC 10. Select Begin to start the wizard.
