Overview
The Garmin 010-11533-10 is a solenoid power cable used in GHP Reactor Mechanical/Solenoid/Retrofit autopilot installations where the autopilot ECU controls hydraulic solenoid coils.
It includes protection diodes and self-healing fuses in the cable to help keep coil-generated voltage spikes from reaching the ECU. This is the solenoid cable specified for Reactor 40 Mechanical/Solenoid/Retrofit Core Pack setups that steer by commanding a constant-running hydraulic pump through solenoid valves.
Key features
- Built-in protection diodes and self-healing fuses for solenoid-coil suppression and circuit protection
- Specified for GHP Reactor Mechanical/Solenoid/Retrofit systems, including Reactor 40 solenoid installations
- Intended for wiring between the Reactor ECU and hydraulic solenoid coil circuits in solenoid steering configurations
- Helps keep solenoid wiring straightforward by integrating the protection components into the harness
Compatibility and fit
This cable is used when a Garmin GHP Reactor Mechanical/Solenoid/Retrofit autopilot is driving a solenoid-controlled hydraulic steering system. It is typically part of installations where a third-party solenoid valve block handles port and starboard flow while the pump runs continuously.
Before ordering, confirm your autopilot core pack is the Mechanical/Solenoid/Retrofit type and that your steering system is the solenoid configuration. Verify your solenoid coil wiring matches the system voltage and the autopilot wiring diagram for your ECU.
Installation and setup
Route the cable from the autopilot ECU to the solenoid manifold or valve block, keeping it protected from chafe, heat, and moving gear. Support the run with clamps, leave a small service loop at each end, and keep splices out of the bilge where possible.
After wiring, test steering direction at the dock and confirm the autopilot can energize each solenoid cleanly. If you are troubleshooting an intermittent steering response, inspect the cable path for pinched sections, corrosion at terminals, and loose connections.
Use cases on board
This cable is a good match for boats that use a constant-running hydraulic pump with solenoid valves for steering control, including many larger powerboats, trawlers, and sailboats with hydraulic systems. It is also commonly used when retrofitting an existing solenoid steering setup to a Garmin Reactor 40 Mechanical/Solenoid/Retrofit core pack.
Shipping
We ship worldwide from the United States. Rates are calculated at checkout based on destination and package weight. Some items include free shipping, which will show automatically. Not every product is eligible for international shipping; checkout will confirm eligibility. We do not ship to PO Boxes except through USPS, and not all packages qualify.
Processing and dispatch
Most orders are verified, packed, and handed to the carrier within 1 to 2 business days. Some products may need extra handling time or ship directly from the manufacturer. For certain international orders, inventory transfers between warehouses may add time. If any delay is expected, we will let you know the dispatch date.
Delivery and tracking
Deliveries are handled by trusted carriers such as USPS, UPS, FedEx, and DHL. Estimated arrival times appear at checkout and depend on your location and the service you choose. These are estimates and can be affected by customs or carrier disruptions. A shipping confirmation with a tracking link is emailed when your order ships, and tracking may take up to 24 hours to update. You can also view tracking in your account.
Duties, taxes, and support
International customers are responsible for any customs duties, taxes, and fees charged by the destination country. If these charges are refused and a shipment returns to us, the carrier’s return cost and any re-entry customs fees will be deducted from the refund. If your order is late or you need help, contact cs@qualityboatparts.com and we will assist you.
Quality Boat Parts is a reseller. Many items include a manufacturer’s warranty, and all warranty service is handled directly by the manufacturer. We do not manage or administer warranty claims on behalf of customers.
Warranty terms, coverage, and duration are set by each manufacturer. Issues involving defects, repairs, or replacements must be addressed with the manufacturer’s support team. When available, the warranty period is listed on the product page. If it is not shown, contact us or the manufacturer for details before purchasing.
To start a claim, the customer must contact the manufacturer and follow their process. Keep your proof of purchase and original packaging, and register the product if the manufacturer requires it, as these are often needed for warranty service.
