Pump Installation
Mounting the Pump
Before you can mount the pump, you must select a location
) and determine the
correct mounting hardware (
).
1
Hold the pump in the intended mounting location and mark
the locations of the mounting holes on the mounting surface,
using the pump as a template.
2
Using a drill bit appropriate for the mounting surface and
selected mounting hardware, drill the four holes through the
mounting surface.
3
Secure the pump to the mounting surface using the selected
mounting hardware.
Connecting the Hydraulic Lines to the Pump
For assistance, see the layout diagrams (
).
1
Disconnect the necessary lines from the hydraulic system.
2
Add a T-connector to the starboard and port lines of the
system between the helm and the steering cylinder.
NOTE:
If the boat has a power-assist module, you must add
the T-connectors between the power-assist module and the
steering cylinder.
3
Complete an action:
• If the boat does not have a return line connected to the
helm, add enough hydraulic hose to connect the return
fitting on the helm to the center pump fitting.
• If the boat has a return line connected to the helm, add a
T-connector to the return line. If the return line is
connected to a power-assist module, you must add the T-
connector to the return line between the power-assist
module and the helm.
4
Add hydraulic hose to the unused fitting on each T-connector,
with enough hose to connect the T-connector to the pump
fittings.
5
Connect the port and starboard line T-connectors to the
appropriate pump fittings, as shown in the layout diagram for
your hydraulic configuration.
6
Install the Shadow Drive valve in the port or starboard
hydraulic line between the helm and the T-connector that
connects to the pump (
Installing the Shadow Drive Valve
).
7
Install a shut-off valve (not included) on each hydraulic line
that connects directly to the pump.
Connecting the CCU
Route the orange and blue wires from the bare-wire portion
of the CCU cable to the location where you plan to install the
alarm (
).
If the cable is not long enough, extend the appropriate wires
with 0.08 mm
2
(28 AWG) wire.
Installing the Shadow Drive Valve
Connecting the Shadow Drive Valve to the Hydraulic
System
Before you can install the Shadow Drive valve, you must select
a location at which to connect the Shadow Drive to the hydraulic
steering of your boat (
Shadow Drive Mounting Considerations
).
For further assistance, consult the hydraulic-layout diagrams
).
Use hydraulic connectors (not included) to install the Shadow
Drive valve in the appropriate hydraulic line.
Connecting the Shadow Drive Valve to the CCU
1
Route the bare-wire end of the CCU cable to the Shadow
Drive valve.
If the cable is not long enough, extend the appropriate wires
with 28 AWG (0.08 mm²) wire.
2
Connect the cables, based on this table.

3
Solder and cover all bare-wire connections.
Installing an Autopilot Switch
If your autopilot package does not include a Shadow Drive
valve, you should install a manual Single Pole Single Throw
(SPST) switch (not included) to disable the autopilot if
necessary.
1
Route the bare-wire end of the CCU cable to the switch.
If the cable is not long enough, extend the appropriate wires
with 28 AWG (0.08 mm²) wire.
2
Connect the cables, based on this table.

3
Solder and cover all bare-wire connections.
The autopilot functions correctly when the switch contacts are
closed. Opening the switch disables the autopilot for manual
steering.
Installing the Alarm
Before you can mount the alarm, you must select a mounting
location (
Alarm Mounting and Connection Considerations
).
1
Route the alarm cable to the bare-wire end of the CCU cable.
If the cable is not long enough, extend the appropriate wires
with 28 AWG (0.08 mm
2
) wire.
2
Connect the cables, based on this table.

4
Secure the alarm with cable ties or other mounting hardware
(not included).
NMEA 2000 and the Autopilot Components
A dedicated helm control is not included in all autopilot
packages. If you install the autopilot without a dedicated helm
control, the autopilot CCU must be connected to the same
NMEA 2000 network as a compatible Garmin chartplotter to
configure and control the autopilot system.
