Item Description Pump power Ç cable Alarm È Shadow Drive É valve Important Considerations The pump must be connected to a 12 to 24 Vdc power source. To extend this cable, use the correct wire gauge (Power Cable Extensions, page 4). 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 4).

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 SmartPump Á 12 to 24 Vdc  battery CCU à NMEA 2000 Ä network 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. The pump must be connected 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. 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).
