È Uflex MasterDrive power unitÉ High pressure line - DO NOT CUTInstallation ProceduresCAUTIONAlways wear safety goggles, ear protection, and a dust maskwhen drilling, cutting, or sanding.NOTICEWhen drilling or cutting, always check what is on the oppositeside of the surface.After you have planned the autopilot installation on your boatand satisfied all of the mounting and wiring considerations foryour particular installation, you can begin mounting andconnecting the components.Helm Control InstallationA dedicated helm control is not included in all autopilotpackages. If you install the autopilot without a dedicated helmcontrol, the autopilot CCU must be connected to the sameNMEA 2000 network as a compatible Garmin chartplotter toconfigure and control the autopilot system.You must install the helm control by mounting it in thedashboard near the helm and connecting it to a NMEA 2000network.Mounting the Helm ControlNOTICEIf you are mounting the device in fiberglass, when drilling thepilot holes, it is recommended to use a countersink bit to drill aclearance counterbore through only the top gel-coat layer. Thiswill help to avoid cracking in the gel-coat layer when the screwsare tightened.Stainless-steel screws may bind when screwed into fiberglassand overtightened. It is recommended to apply an anti-seizelubricant on the screws before installing them.Before you can mount the helm control, you must select amounting location (Helm Control Mounting Considerations,page 1).1 Trim the flush-mount template and ensure it fits in theselected mounting location.The flush-mount template is included in the helm controlproduct box.2 Secure the template to the selected mounting location.3 If you plan to cut the hole with a rotary cutting tool instead ofa 90 mm (3.5 in.) hole saw, use a 10 mm (3/8 in.) drill bit todrill a pilot hole as indicated on the template to begin cuttingthe mounting surface.4 Using the hole saw or rotary cutting tool, cut the mountingsurface along the inside of the dashed line indicated on thetemplate.5 If necessary, use a file and sandpaper to refine the size ofthe hole.6 Place the helm control into the cutout to confirm that the fourmounting holes on the template are in the correct locations.7 If the mounting holes are not correct, mark the correctlocations of the four mounting holes.8 Remove the helm control from the cutout.9 Drill the four 2.8 mm (7/64 in.) pilot holes.If you are mounting the helm control in fiberglass, you shoulduse a countersink bit as advised in the notice.10Remove the remainder of the template.11Place the included gasket on the back of the device.You can apply marine sealant around the gasket to preventleakage behind the dashboard (optional).12Place the helm control into the cutout.13Securely fasten the helm control to the mounting surfaceusing the supplied screws.If you are mounting the helm control in fiberglass, you shoulduse an anti-seize lubricant as advised in the notice.14Snap the decorative bezel À into place.Mounting the CCU1 Determine the mounting location.2 Using the CCU as a template, mark the two pilot holelocations on the mounting surface.3 Using a 3 mm (1/8 in.) bit, drill the pilot holes.4 Use the included screws to attach the CCU to the mountingsurface.NOTE: If you use mounting hardware other than the providedscrews, the hardware must be quality stainless or brassmaterial to avoid magnetic interference with the CCU.Test any mounting hardware with a handheld compass tomake sure no magnetic fields are present in the hardware.ECU InstallationMounting the ECUBefore you can mount the ECU, you must select a location anddetermine the correct mounting hardware (ECU Mounting andConnection Considerations, page 2).1 Hold the ECU in the intended mounting location and mark thelocations of the mounting holes on the mounting surface,using the ECU as a template.2 Using a drill bit appropriate for the mounting surface andselected mounting hardware, drill the four holes through themounting surface.3 Secure the ECU to the mounting surface using the selectedmounting hardware.Connecting the ECU to PowerWARNINGWhen connecting the power cable, do not remove the in-linefuse holder. To prevent the possibility of injury or productdamage caused by fire or overheating, the appropriate fusemust be in place as indicated in the product specifications. Inaddition, connecting the power cable without the appropriatefuse in place voids the product warranty.You should connect the ECU power cable directly to the boatbattery, if possible. Although it is not recommended, if youconnect the power cable to a terminal block or other source, youmust connect it through a 40 A fuse.If you plan to route the ECU power through a breaker or a switchnear the helm, you should consider using an appropriately sizedrelay and control wire instead of extending the ECU powercable.1 Route the connector-terminated end of the ECU power cableto the ECU, but do not connect it to the ECU.6
