•If the supplied power lead is too short, the lead can be extended if
required. The table shows the minimum acceptable cable sizes:

Note: Correct cable size is critical for correct autopilot operation. If
the cable is too small, a voltage drop will occur between the supply and
the control head. This will reduce the power to the drive, causing
slower response to course changes and corrections.
Connection to the SeaTalk bus
SeaTalk cables are not supplied with the equipment, as different
installations have different cabling requirements.
