{"product_id":"garmin-ecu-ghp12-pilote-automatique","title":"ECU for GHP 12","description":"\u003cp\u003e\n    The Garmin Electronic Control Unit (ECU) for the GHP 12 is a central component of the Garmin GHP 12 autopilot system. Designed for sailboats from 20 to 70 feet and powerboats equipped with cable or solenoid steering systems and third-party hydraulic pumps, it manages and coordinates autopilot functions.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFeatures and technical integration\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n    The ECU is specifically compatible with the GHP 12 autopilot system and can also be used with the GHP Reactor mechanical\/retrofit\/solenoid Corepack. It is a key element of the GHP 12 system architecture, which includes the CCU (Course Computer Unit), the GHC™ control unit, and the drive unit (sold separately). The ECU powers both the CCU and the drive unit and is designed to connect to a 12-24 Vdc power source, while the NMEA 2000 power cable requires 9-16 Vdc. The GHP 12 system is NMEA 2000® certified, facilitating integration and data sharing with other network devices, including Garmin chartplotters.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSteering precision and versatility\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n    For optimal operation, the GHP 12 system requires feedback on rudder position to the ECU; some drive units, such as the Class A Drive, include a rudder angle sensor. The GHP 12 system enhances turning control precision and stability thanks to a gyroscope integrated into the CCU. The system is designed to work with various linear drive units, including Garmin Class A models (for sailboats up to 28,500 lbs displacement) and Class B models (for sailboats up to 79,000 lbs). When interfaced with a Garmin GWS 10 or compatible wind sensor, GPS, and other networked electronic equipment, the GHP 12 system provides autopilot functions such as heading hold, wind hold, programmed turns, tacking\/jibing, and MFD route tracking. Control is via the GHC™ control unit with a 3.5-inch color display, supporting up to three GHC 10 controllers for multi-station use. Wireless control options via a remote or quatix® marine watch are also available. The GHP 12 is characterized by minimal power consumption, optimizing the autonomy of onboard systems.\n\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Garmin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55860580811092,"sku":"010-11053-30","price":558.29,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0988\/3274\/4788\/files\/main_bf377ebd-ca6c-4016-a968-e7dabbc952ad.jpg?v=1779194677","url":"https:\/\/skysat.fr\/en-gb\/products\/garmin-ecu-ghp12-autopilot","provider":"Skysat","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
