Adapter Kit Installation Instructions
To use the GHP 10 autopilot system with Mercury Verado engines, you must install the GHP 10 Mercury Verado Adapter Kit. Use the GHP 10
Installation Instructions (supplied with the GHP 10 autopilot system) and these installation instructions to install the GHP 10 autopilot system on
your Mercury Verado-equipped boat.
Installing the GHP 10 Autopilot System
The GHP 10 Installation Instructions explain the installation procedures to install the GHP 10 autopilot system, but the instructions do not cover
the specic Mercury Verado hydraulic and tachometry connections (J Box Adapter Plug or Plugs).
Pages 2–6 contain Mercury Verado-specic instructions on installing the GHP 10 in the hydraulic system.
For instructions on installing the check valve assembly, see page 8.
For instructions on installing the return hose and tting kit, see page 8.
For instructions on connecting the GHP 10 tachometer wiring to the Mercury J Box adapter plugs, see page 9.

2 GHP 10 Mercury Verado Adapter Kit Installation Instructions
Installing the GHP 10 in a Mercury Verado Hydraulic System
Notice
Before starting the hydraulic installation, verify the type of hydraulic steering in the boat. If the hydraulic steering in your boat does not match
any of the diagrams in this document, consult Garmin Product Support for specic installation procedures.
Because of the Mercury pump module, additional steps must be taken when installing the GHP 10 pump and shadow drive valve. Consult the
hydraulic layout diagrams in this document to determine the best location to install the pump and shadow drive valve in the hydraulic system of
your boat.
NOTE: If you are installing a 1.2 L pump in the hydraulic system, you must purchase the check valve assembly kit and isolation hose kit (sold
separately) to ensure a proper hydraulic installation. For more information on the check valve assembly and isolation hose kits, see page 8.

8 GHP 10 Mercury Verado Adapter Kit Installation Instructions
Installing the Check Valve and Isolation Hoses
The check valve and isolation hoses are required when installing the GHP 10 with a 1.2 liter pump to a Verado single- or dual-helm hydraulic
system. It is recommended that you install the check valve and isolation hoses on the pump before installing the pump in your boat.
For this installation, you will need the following:
• 1.2 L pump
• Check valve assembly
• Cable tie mount
• Isolation hoses
• Thread sealant (Loctite® Pro Lock Tight® multipurpose anaerobic gel, part number 51604 or equivalent)
Installing the Check Valve and Isolation Hoses on the 1.2 L Pump
Do not use Teon tape on any hydraulic tting. Use an appropriate thread sealant such as Loctite Pro Lock Tight multipurpose anaerobic gel,
part number 51604, or equivalent, on all pipe threads in the hydraulic system.
To install the check valve and isolation hoses on the 1.2 L pump in vertical orientation:
1. Install the isolation hoses and check valve assembly to the GHP pump as shown in the illustration.
Isolation hoses
Check valve
2. Mount the pump according to the instructions included with the unit.
3. Mount the cable tie mount to the surface to which you will secure the check valve.
4. Attach the check valve to the cable tie mount using the cable tie.
Installing the Return Hose and Fitting Kit
The low pressure return hydraulic hose from the helm (upper helm only in dual-helm installations) to the Mercury pump module must be
branched to run to the GHP pump as well. For this installation, you need the following:
• Return hose and clamps
• Return hose tting kit
To install the return hose:
1. Cut the return hose in an appropriate location to add the branch to the GHP pump.
2. Install the tee tting in the cut return hose and securely clamp the connections, as shown in the illustration.
3. Install the return hose on the remaining end of the tee tting and securely clamp the connection, as shown in the illustration.

GHP 10 Mercury Verado Adapter Kit Installation Instructions 9
4. Screw the threaded end of the barbed/threaded tting into the appropriate location on the GHP pump. Use an appropriate thread sealant
such as Loctite Pro Lock Tight multipurpose anaerobic gel, part number 51604, or equivalent, on the threads.
5. Install the remaining free end of the return hose to the barbed tting on the GHP pump.
Installing the Mercury J Box Adapter Plug
The Mercury J Box adapter plug must be used when installing the GHP 10 in a Mercury Verado-equipped boat. Failure to use the adapter plug
can void the warranty of both the GHP 10 and the Mercury Verado motor.
To install the Mercury J Box adapter plug:
1. Connect the GHP 10 CCU positive (+) tachometer wire to the adapter plug wire.
2. Install the adapter plug into the Mercury Verado junction box.
3. Connect the GHP 10 CCU negative (-) tachmometer wire to ground.
Use the following table to identify the appropriate wires on the GHP 10 and the Mercury J Box Adapter Plug or Plugs:
Engine Conguration GHP 10 to J Box Adapter Plug GHP 10 to Ground
Single engine Green and violet (twist together) White and gray (twist together)
Dual engines Port engine = violet Gray
Starboard engine = green White
Installing the Ferrite Beads on the ECU Power Cable
Install two of the four included ferrite beads on the ECU power cable of the GHP 10 Autopilot system. Install the ferrite beads closer to the ECU
than to the battery.
