SMARTPUMP
INSTALLATION
INSTRUCTIONS

Important Safety Information

See the Important Safety and Product Information guide in the
product box for product warnings and other important
information.
You are responsible for the safe and prudent operation of your
vessel. The autopilot is a tool that enhances your capability to
operate your boat. It does not relieve you of 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.
Always wear safety goggles, ear protection, and a dust mask
when drilling, cutting, or sanding.
To avoid damage to your boat, the autopilot system should be
installed by a qualified marine installer. Specific knowledge of
hydraulic steering componentry and marine electrical systems is
required for proper installation.
When drilling or cutting, always check what is on the opposite
side of the surface.
This pump is only for use with Garmin
Attempting to use this pump with any other system may damage
the system, the pump, or the vessel.
The SmartPump steers your boat by interacting with the
hydraulic steering system, based on commands from the
autopilot system.
Autopilot Software Updates
After completing the autopilot installation, you should update the
software before performing the configuration process.
If you connected the autopilot system to a NMEA 2000
with a Garmin chartplotter, you can update the software using
the chartplotter.
If you did not connect the autopilot system to a NMEA 2000
network with a Garmin chartplotter, you must use a NMEA 2000
Network Updater (sold separately). Go to
for update information.
SmartPump Type Identification
The autopilot system comes with one of two SmartPump
designs. Both designs are functionally identical, but have some
slight differences in appearance and port locations. When
referring to the two designs in these instructions, the terms
SmartPump and SmartPump v2
between the two types. You can refer to the label on your
SmartPump package and consult these diagrams to determine
your SmartPump type.
