6.1 Planning the Installation
This chapter explains how to install the ST600R autopilot control
unit. Before you start, obtain the correct connection cable, and decide
how you will site the unit and run the cables.
Choosing the Correct Connection Cable
Because the range of Raymarine autopilots is extensive, the cable
used to connect the ST600R must be ordered separately (see below).
