Important  
It is the owner’s sole responsibility to install and use the instrument and transducer/s in a manner  
that will not cause accidents, personal injury or property damage. The user of this product is  
solely responsible for observing safe boating practices.  
The choice, location, and installation of all components in any autopilot system is critical. If  
installation is not correct, the unit can not perform at its designed potential. If in doubt, consult  
your Navman dealer. Ensure that any holes that cut are in a safe position and will not weaken  
the boat's structure. If in doubt, consult a qualied boat builder.  
Using the G-PILOT 3100:  
The G-PILOT 3100 is intended as an aid to save a helmsman from having to steer for long  
periods of time, not as the main means of steering the boat.  
The G-PILOT 3100 is not intended for use in extreme weather, in adverse conditions or in  
water near other boats, dangerous waters or land.  
The G-PILOT 3100 can not control the boat better than a helmsman. In adverse conditions  
steer the boat manually.  
Never leave the helm unattended. Keep a watch at all times. The helmsman should always  
monitor the course of the boat and the G-PILOT 3100 and be ready to resume steering the  
boat manually.  
The performance of the G-PILOT 3100 can be affected by the failure of a part,  
environmental conditions, improper installation and use.

1-2 Using the G-PILOT 3100 with other instruments  
you change the backlight in an instrument  
in group 0 then no other instruments are  
affected.  
1-2-1 Using other instruments  
The G-PILOT 3100 can use data from these  
instruments:  
If an alarm sounds, mute it on any  
instrument which can display that alarm.  
For more information, refer to the NavBus  
Installation and Operation Manual. Note: GPS  
must be via NMEA input.  
GPS: A GPS or chartplotter, such as a  
NavmanTRACKER 5000 series chartplotter  
must be connected to the G-PILOT 3100 for  
the G-PILOT 3100 to operate in GPS mode  
(see the G-PILOT 3100 Operation Manual).  
Note: GPS must be via NMEA input.  
WIND:Awindinstrument, suchasaNavman  
WIND 3100 series, must be connected to  
the G-PILOT 3100 for the G-PILOT 3100 to  
operate in WIND mode (see the G-PILOT  
3100 Operation Manual).  
NavBus and the G-PILOT 3100  
The G-PILOT 3100 will automatically  
work with additional display units.  
The G-PILOT 3100 can receive wind data  
from Navman’s WIND 3100 over NavBus.  
The G-PILOT 3100 can receive speed  
data from Navman’s SPEED 3100 over  
NavBus.  
SPEED: A speed instrument, such as:  
Navman’s SPEED 3100 with a  
paddlewheel speed sensor  
or a GPS or chartplotter, such as  
1-2-3 NMEA  
NMEA is an industry standard, but is not as  
exible as NavBus as it requires dedicated  
connections between instruments. The G-  
PILOT has one NMEA input port and one  
port that can be configured to be an input  
or an output (See G-PILOT 3100 Operation  
Manual).  
Navman’s TRACKER 5000 series  
chartplotter can be connected to the  
G-PILOT 3100 to increase steering  
accuracy.  
Note: The speed from a paddlewheel  
sensor is the speed that the boat is moving  
through the water. The speed from a GPS  
is the speed over the ground. If there is a  
water current then these two speeds will be  
different. If the G-PILOT 3100 is connected  
to an instrument with a paddlewheel sensor  
and to a GPS, then the G-PILOT 3100 will  
automatically use the speed from the  
paddlewheel sensor instrument.  
G-PILOT 3100 NMEA inputs  
GPS: The G-PILOT 3100 can receive  
NMEA GPS data from a compatible GPS or  
chartplotter, such as Navman’s TRACKER 5000  
series chartplotter:  
XTE (from APA, APB or XTE sentences)  
is required for the G-PILOT to use GPS  
mode  
BRG (from APA sentences) and BOD  
(from APA or APB sentences) are optional  
and improve performance  
1-2-2 NavBus  
NavBus is a Navman proprietary system that  
allows systems of multiple instruments to be  
built using a single set of transducers. When  
instruments are connected by NavBus:  
COG (from VTG sentences) is optional  
and can be displayed.  
If you change the units, alarms or  
WIND: The G-PILOT 3100 can receive NMEA  
wind data from a compatible wind instrument:  
calibration in one instrument, then the  
values will automatically change in all  
other instruments of the same type.  
Each instrument can be assigned to a  
group of instruments, called a backlight  
group (see BKL GROUP in the FACTORY  
menu, in the G-PILOT 3100 Operation  
Manual). If you change the backlight in an  
instrument in group 1, 2, 3 or 4 then the  
backlight will automatically change in the  
other instruments in the same group. If  
True or apparent wind direction (from  
MWV sentences) is required for the  
G-PILOT to use Wind mode.  
SPEED: The G-PILOT 3100 can receive NMEA  
speed data from a compatible paddlewheel or  
GPS instrument:  
SOG (from VTG sentences) is optional  
and improves performance.

3-2 Installation guide  
This is a general guide for locating and wiring the parts of the G-PILOT 3100. The instructions for  
a particular part may have additional requirements.  
3-2-1 Location guide  
3-2-2 Wiring guide  
Do not mount any part where it can be used  
as a handhold, where it will interfere with  
the operation of the boat or where it might  
be submerged.  
The G-PILOT 3100 has two kinds of cables:  
The heavy-duty power supply and steering  
drive usually require high-current cables:  
Select the wire gauge from the wire size  
table (see section 3-4-2).  
Fit high-current cables at least 1 m (3  
ft) away from other electronic devices in  
the boat.  
Keep the cables as short as possible.  
Twin 2 mm (#14) cable is supplied with the  
G-PILOT 3100 and can be used for the high  
current cable if its gauge is suitable.  
Do not mount any part where it will interfere  
with launching or retrieving the boat.  
Do not mount any part within 0.5 m (20")  
of the plane of a radar antenna.  
Mount the compass and gyro:  
At least 1 m (3 ft) away from sources  
of electrical signals or noise, such as  
the batteries, high-current cables,  
other boat cables, engines, uorescent  
lights, power inverters, radio or radar  
transmitters and antennas.  
At least 1 m (3 ft) away from equipment  
containing a magnet, such as a  
compass.  
All the other cables are low-current:  
Fit low-current cables at least 1 m (3 ft)  
away from sources of electrical signals  
or noise, such as the high-current cables,  
other boat cables, engines, fluorescent  
lights, power inverters and radio or radar  
transmitters and antennas.  
If the cable for the rudder feedback unit,  
compass or gyro is too long, do not shorten  
the cable; instead coil the cable up near the  
main control unit.  
The cable for the rudder feedback unit,  
compass or gyro can be extended by  
adding a 10 m (33 ft) extension cable and  
coupling connector. Do not t more than  
one extension cable to each unit.  
When tting any type of cable:  
Do not crush, pinch or strain the cable.  
Secure the cable at regular intervals.  
Ensure no connectors or exposed terminals  
are in the bilge.

3-4-2 Installing the steering drive  
Install the steering drive according to one of the  
diagrams on the following pages.  
Note  
Keep all wiring as short as possible.  
Use the wire size given in the table below.  
Follow the wiring guide (see section  
3-2-2).  
Wire less than #10 gauge will not t  
directly into the four way terminal block.  
Fit ferrules or reterminate the wire with  
#10 gauge wire.  
If more than one wire is to be tted to a  
terminal of the four way terminal block,  
join the wires together in a suitable way.  
Wire size table  
To choose a wire gauge for an installation:  
1
Measure the length of twin cable required, i.e. the distance from the main control unit to the  
heavy duty power supply or to the drive.  
2
Choose the column with the cable length and the row with the circuit current. The intersection  
of the row and column gives the preferred (minimum) cable wire gauge for less than 3% voltage  
drop in a 12 V system.

Alignment  
The arm can rotate freely around the base. When the rudder is amidships, the arrow on the arm  
must point to one of the centre lines on the base.  
Sets of lines  
show the two  
linear ranges of  
the unit.  
Centre line  
Base  
Centre line  
Therefore in an installation, the base can be rotated to two positions. We recommend the position  
that has the cable on the opposite side to the connecting rod.  
Recommended  
(rudder amidships).  
Not recommended, cable  
can foul rudder linkage.  
Arrangements  
Recommended: U-shaped arrangement with the arm parallel to the length of boat:  
Bow of  
boat  
Satisfactory: U-shaped arrangement  
with arm not parallel to length of boat,  
for example:  
Not recommended: Z-shaped arrangement,  
for example:

Location  
Mount the compass:  
As close as possible to the centre of  
movement of the boat, to minimise how  
much the compass moves when the boat  
rocks and pitches. If the compass can not  
be mounted at the centre of movement, it  
is usually best to mount the compass as  
low as possible.

iron boat part, such as:  
a steel hull, deck, cabin or steel  
reinforcing in ferro-cement hulls  
steel equipment such as motors and  
cooking equipment  
places where steel objects are stored,  
such as the anchor locker and storage  
lockers  
On a vertical panel which does not  
vibrate.  
The unit is completely waterproof but should  
not be immersed. The compass is not  
affected by other metals, such as stainless  
steel, copper or brass. Follow the location  
guide (see section 3-2-1).  
At least 2 m (6 ft) away from equipment

Perform the sea trials:  
For the sea trials, sail in an open area where  
there are no other craft or obstructions. The  
sea should be calm, the wind speed as low as

Local disturbances in magnetic eld may affect the compass. Calibration must be preformed away  
from large metal structures such as marinas, large ships etc.; this is the responsibility of the user.  
Ensure that both sources are referencing the same north (true or magnetic). If your magnetic  
compass has not been calibrated then you can use another source for heading. If using vessel’s  
compass then ensure that the deviation tables are applied to check the autopilot’s compass.

G-PILOT is connected to a GPS then press  
MENU twice to skip this step and accept  
the calibration. Then align the compass to  
the GPS (see section 6-1-2).  
Turn the manual helm to several headings,  
checking that the displayed heading is close  
to the actual heading.  
To cancel the calibration, press ESC.
