{"product_id":"qbp861662","title":"Garmin Rudder Feedback Cable, For GHP 12 Autopilots","description":"\u003ch6\u003eOverview\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Garmin 010-11532-00 is a rudder feedback cable used with compatible Garmin autopilot installations to pass rudder position feedback to the autopilot system. It is commonly used as a replacement cable for GHP 12 sailboat autopilot setups, and it is also used in certain Reactor 40 mechanical or solenoid retrofit installations when pairing the autopilot with a third-party rudder sensor.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is a service cable, not a rudder sensor or rudder reference unit by itself. If you are chasing inconsistent steering, rudder angle faults, or a feedback unit that drops out when the boat is pounding, replacing a suspect cable can be a straightforward first step before pulling sensors or course computers. Packaged size is about 5 in. x 5 in. x 1 in., with a shipping weight around 0.09 lb.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eKey features\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReplacement rudder feedback cable for Garmin GHP 12 sailboat autopilot systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUsed in certain Reactor 40 mechanical or solenoid retrofit installations when connecting a third-party rudder sensor\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCarries rudder position feedback so the autopilot can steer with better awareness of rudder movement\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompact spare part that is easy to keep onboard for troubleshooting and quick repairs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWARNING: Cancer and Reproductive Harm - P65Warnings.ca.gov\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch6\u003eCompatibility and fit\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eConfirm that your autopilot setup expects a separate rudder feedback input and that the cable ends match what is already installed on your boat. This part is associated with GHP 12 rudder feedback installations and with Reactor 40 retrofit configurations that use a third-party rudder sensor rather than a Garmin GRF 10 sensor.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eInstallation and setup\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003ePlan the cable run the same way you would for any sensitive helm electronics: keep it supported, protected from chafe, and routed away from hot engine components and moving steering gear. Leave a drip loop where the cable enters enclosures, and secure the run so vibration does not work the connectors loose over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBefore pulling the old cable out of conduits, label both ends and verify you can pull a replacement through the same path. On sailboats, the rudder feedback wiring often runs from the quadrant area to a dry mounting location near the autopilot course computer, so pay attention to moisture protection and strain relief at both ends.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eMaintenance and care\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003ePeriodically inspect the cable run for crushed sections, tight bends, and abrasion points near bulkheads or steering linkages. If the connectors are in a damp locker, keep them clean and dry and address any green corrosion early so the rudder feedback signal stays consistent when the boat is in motion.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Garmin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52268996559029,"sku":"QBP861662","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0977\/8171\/1029\/files\/1298798_qbp861662.jpg?v=1771541366","url":"https:\/\/www.qualityboatparts.com\/products\/qbp861662","provider":"Quality Boat Parts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
