The GHP 12 must be congured and tuned to your boat dynamics.

Use the dockside wizard and the sea trial wizard on the GHC 10 to

congure the GHP 12. These wizards walk you through the necessary

conguration steps.

provide rudder-movement clearance to avoid damage to the rudder or

other objects.

You can complete the dockside wizard while your boat is in or out of

the water. If your boat in the water, it must be stationary while you

complete the wizard.
