You are responsible for the safe and prudent operation of your vessel.
The GHP™ 10/10V/12 is a tool that will enhance your capability to operate
your boat. It does not relieve you from the responsibility of safely operating
your boat. Avoid navigational hazards and never leave the helm unattended.
Always be prepared to promptly regain manual control of your boat.
Learn to operate the GHP on calm and hazard-free open water.
Use caution when operating the GHP near hazards in the water, such as
docks, pilings, and other boats.
The GHP autopilot system continuously adjusts the steering of your boat
to maintain a constant heading. In addition to the basic heading-hold
functionality, the GHP autopilot system allows manual steering and several
modes of automatic-steering functions and patterns.
Operate the GHP autopilot system using the GHC™ 10 control unit.
Through the GHC 10 control unit, you engage and steer, set up, and
customize the GHP autopilot system.
To install the GHP autopilot system, including the GHC 10 control unit, use
