Important It is the owner’s sole responsibility to install and use the instrument and transducer/s in a manner that will not cause accidents, personal injury or property damage. The user of this product is solely responsible for observing safe boating practices. The choice, location, and installation of all components in any autoG-PILOT system is critical. If installation is not correct, the unit can not perform at its designed potential. If in doubt, consult your Navman dealer.
1 Introduction Using this manual This manual describes how to install and set up the G-PILOT 3380 system. Refer to the separate G-PILOT 3380 Operation Manual for information on how to operate the G-PILOT 3380 display unit. To install a G-PILOT 3380 system, you must perform installation, dockside setup and sea trials (see sections 3, 4 and 5). To fully set up a G-PILOT 3380 system after a part has been changed or if a problem is suspected, perform dockside setup and sea trials again (see sections 4 and 5).
1-2 Using the G-PILOT 3380 system with other instruments 1-2-1 Using other instruments Comms menu, in the G-PILOT 3380 Operation Manual). If you change the backlight in an instrument in group 1, 2, 3 or 4 then the backlight will automatically change in the other instruments in the same group. If you change the backlight in an instrument in group 0 then no other instruments are affected.
G-PILOT 3380 system NMEA outputs WIND: The G-PILOT 3380 system can receive NMEA wind data from a compatible wind instrument: True or apparent wind direction (from MWV sentences) is required for the G-PILOT 3380 system to use Wind mode.
2-2 Other parts required Power supply: The G-PILOT 3380 system requires two power supplies, both nominally 12 V DC: A heavy duty supply for the steering drive A light duty supply for the G-PILOT 3380 system electronics and display unit; this supply also powers any additional display units and other instruments. The power supplies require one or two switches and fuses or circuit breakers (see section 3-4).
3-2 Installation guide This is a general guide for locating and wiring the parts of the G-PILOT 3380 system. The instructions for a particular part may have additional requirements. 3-2-1 Location guide 3-2-2 Wiring guide Do not mount any part where it can be used as a handhold, where it will interfere with the operation of the boat or where it might be submerged.

3-4 Installing the power supplies and steering drive 3-4-1 Installing the power supplies MCU600 The MCU 600 system requires a light duty and a heavy duty power supply, both 12 V DC. Note: Keep all wiring as short as possible. For the heavy duty supply, use the wire size given in the table (see section 3-4-2). Follow the wiring guide (see section 3-2-2). Power supply: one switch configuration Choose this configuration to have one switch to turn the G-PILOT 3380 system and any other instruments on and off.
3-4-2 Installing the steering drive Install the steering drive according to one of the diagrams on the following pages. Note Keep all wiring as short as possible. Use the wire size given in the table below. Follow the wiring guide (see section 3-2-2). Wire less than #10 gauge will not fit directly into the four way terminal block. Fit ferrules or reterminate the wire with #10 gauge wire.

Motor Relay coil 1N4002 diode or equivalent. Fit close to relay coil Note: Relay is required if the clutch circuit is greater than 300 mA.
Installing solenoid valves or relays with jog or electric steering In the Setup > Vessel menu (See G-PILOT 3380 Operation Manual), set Drive Type to Spool ground.
3-5 Installing the RFU (rudder feedback unit) Physical Rudder shaft Base 90 mm (3.5”) LT8 connector 10 m (33 ft) cable 220 mm (8.7”) Arm Linkage to rudder Connecting rod, with quick release fittings and lock nuts each end Mounting requirements These two distances to be equal. Arm rotates freely around base. End of connecting rod snaps into one of the holes on the arm. These two distances to be equal. Adjust position of rod on arm if required. Rudder shaft to be parallel to shaft in base.
Alignment The arm can rotate freely around the base. When the rudder is amidships, the arrow on the arm must point to one of the centre lines on the base. Centre line Base Sets of lines show the two linear ranges of the unit. Centre line Therefore in an installation, the base can be rotated to two positions. We recommend the position that has the cable on the opposite side to the connecting rod. Recommended (rudder amidships). Not recommended, cable can foul rudder linkage.
Installation 1 2 3 Find a suitable location and arrangement for the unit as described above. Choose, assemble and fit a suitable rudder linkage. Fit the unit as shown below: Set rudder amidships. If necessary, mount base on block to set height. Rotate base so arrow on arm points near centre line on base. Fit two screws provided loosely in middle of slots. Rotate base so arrow on arm points to centre line on base. Fit third screw provided, tighten all screws. Ensure rudder is amidships.
