GHP 10 Installation Instructions 11Securing the CCu in the CCu Bracket1. Connect the CCU/ECUinterconnect cable and the NMEA2000 drop cable to the CCU.2. Place the CCU in the mountingportion of the CCU bracket withthe wires hanging straight down➊.3. Place the securing portion of thebracket over the ball and snapit into the mounting portion ofthe bracket, starting with thetwo arms ➋ that do not have thethumbscrew ➌.4. With the cables hanging straightdown, connect the arm with the thumbscrew.The cables must hang straight down for the CCU to accurately readyour heading.5. Hand-tighten the thumbscrew until the CCU is held firmly in thebracket.Do not overtighten the thumbscrew.Connecting the CCu1. Route the six-pin connector end of the CCU/ECU interconnect cableto the ECU and make the connection.2. Route the wires from the bare-wire portion of the cable to the CCU/ECU interconnect cable.• Route the red and blue wires to the location where you plan toinstall the alarm (page 11).If the cable is not long enough, extend the appropriate wires with28 AWG (.08 mm2 ) wire.• Route the yellow wire to the location where you plan to installthe GHC 10 (page 11).If the cable is not long enough, extend the yellow wire with 22AWG (.33 mm2 ) wire.3. Cut and tape the remaining bare wires; they are not used.Connecting the GHP to the tachometer1. If you are connecting analog tachometry, identify the location andconnection assignments for the tachometer (or tachometers) on yourboat.2. Route the bare-wire end of the CCU/ECU interconnect cable to thetachometer (or tachometers).If the cable is not long enough, extend the wires with twisted pair,22 AWG wire.3. Connect the cables, based on the table below.EngineConfigurationtachometer GroundSingle engine Green and violet (twisttogether)White and grey (twisttogether)Dual engines Port engine = violet Port engine = greyStarboard engine = green Starboard engine =white4. Connect the tachometer wire or wires from the CCU/ECUinterconnect cable to the tachometer sensor wire or wires from theengine (or engines). Connect the ground wires to a clean ground.NOTE: For three or more outboard engines, connect to theoutermost port and starboard engines, according to the table.5. Solder and cover all bare-wire connections.alarm InstallationThe alarm audibly alerts you to important GHP 10 events.To install the alarm, you must mount it to your boat (page 10), connectit to the CCU (page 10), and connect it to the yellow CCU signal wireon the GHC 10 (page 11).Mounting the alarmBefore you can mount the alarm, you must select a mounting location(page 5).Secure the alarm with cable ties or other appropriate mountinghardware (not included).Connecting the alarm1. Route the alarm-cable to the bare-wire end of the CCU/ECUinterconnect cable.If the cable is not long enough, extend the appropriate wires with 28AWG (.08 mm2 ) wire.2. Connect the cables, based on the table below.alarm Wire Color CCu/ECu Interconnect Cable Wire ColorWhite (+) Red (+)Black (-) Blue (-)3. Solder and cover all bare-wire connections.GHC 10 InstallationInstall the GHC 10 by flush-mounting it in the dashboard near the helm,connecting it to the yellow wire from the CCU/ECU interconnect cable,and connecting it to a NMEA 2000 network.To use advanced features of the GHP 10, optional NMEA2000-compatible or NMEA 0183-compatible devices, such as a GPSdevice, can be connected to the NMEA 2000 network or connected tothe GHC 10 through NMEA 0183.Mounting the GHC 10NoticeThe temperature range for the GHC 10 is from 5°F to 158°F (from-15°C to 70°C). Extended exposure to temperatures outside of thisrange (in storage or operating conditions) may cause failure of theLCD screen or other components. This type of failure and relatedconsequences are not covered by the manufacturer’s limited warranty.If you are mounting the GHC 10 in fiberglass, when drilling thefour pilot holes, it is recommended to use a countersink bit to drill aclearance counterbore through only the top gel-coat layer. This willhelp to avoid any cracking in the gel-coat layer when the screws aretightened.Stainless-steel screws may bind when screwed into fiberglass andovertightened. Garmin recommends applying an anti-galling, stainlessanti-seize lubricant to the screws before installing them.Before you can mount the GHC 10, you must select a mounting location(page 5).1. Trim the flush-mount template and ensure it will fit in the locationwhere you plan to mount the GHC 10.The flush-mount template is included in the product box, not inthese instructions.The flush-mount template has adhesive on the back.2. Remove the protective liner from the adhesive on the back of thetemplate and apply it to the location where you plan to mount theGHC 10.➊➋➌
