Installing the GHC 10
Install the GHC 10 by flush-mounting it in the dashboard near the helm, connecting it to power and to the yellow CCU signal wire from
the CCU cable, and connecting it to a NMEA 2000 network. Optionally, you can connect the GHC 10 to a NMEA 2000- or NMEA 0183-
compatible GPS device to use waypoint and route data.
Mounting the GHC 10
Flush mount the GHC 10 in the dashboard near the helm.
When you select an installation location for the GHC 10, choose a location with the following characteristics:
• Provides optimal viewing as you operate your vessel.
• Allows easy access to the keypad on the GHC 10.
• Is strong enough to support the weight of the GHC 10 and protect it from excessive vibration or shock.
• Allows room for the routing and connection of the cables for power and data. There should be at least a 3-inch (8 cm) clearance behind
the case.
• Is at least 9 / in. (0.24 m) from a magnetic compass, to avoid interference.

• Is in an area that is not exposed to extreme temperature conditions.
Caution: The 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 this
range (in storage or operating conditions) may cause failure of the LCD screen or other components. This type of failure and related consequences are
not covered by the limited warranty.
To flush mount the GHC 10:
1. A flush-mount template is included in the product box. Trim the template and ensure it will fit in the location at which you want to flush mount
the GHC 10.
2. The flush-mount template has adhesive on the back. Remove the protective liner and apply the template to the location where you want to
flush mount the GHC 10.
3. Use the 3 / in. (90 mm) hole saw to cut the mounting surface along the line indicated on the flush-mount template. Use a file and

sandpaper to refine the size of the cutout, if needed.
4. Place the GHC 10 into the cutout to confirm that the four mounting holes are correct after refining the cutout. If not, mark the correct
locations of the four mounting holes. Remove the GHC 10 from the cutout.
5. Drill the four / in. (3.2 mm) pilot holes.

note: If you are mounting the GHC 10 in fiberglass, it is recommended to use a countersink bit to drill a clearance counterbore through only the top
gel-coat layer. This will help to avoid any cracking in the gel-coat layer when the screws are tightened.
6. Remove the remainder of the template.
7. Place the GHC 10 into the cutout.
8. Securely tighten the four mounting screws through the GHC 10 into the drilled mounting holes.
note: Stainless-steel screws may bind when screwed into fiberglass and overtightened. Garmin recommends applying an anti-galling, stainless anti-
seize lubricant to the screws before installing them.
9. Snap the mounting covers into place to install them.
