Thank You
Contact our Customer Resource Center at 1-800-633-1468 or visit our Web site at humminbird.com.
WARNING!
It is the operator’s responsibility to make prudent decisions regarding personal safety and the operation of the vessel. Do NOT leave the autopilot unattended while it is steering the vessel. Watch for obstacles and potential hazards at all times. Be prepared to respond to changing conditions and take manual control of the vessel as required.
WARNING!
The autopilot system should be installed by a Certified Marine Electronics Technician (CMET) or an authorized Marine Electronics Installer (MEI). See NMEA.org for details. Incorrect installation affects the system's performance, which affects the safety of the vessel and its passengers. If you have questions about the installation, please contact our Customer Resource Center.
WARNING!
This device should not be used as a navigational aid to prevent collision, grounding, boat damage, or personal injury. When the boat is moving, water depth may change too quickly to allow time for you to react. Always operate the boat at very slow speeds if you suspect shallow water or submerged objects.
ii
WARNING!
Do NOT use the autopilot where there may be shallow water, obstacles, or when manual navigation is required, especially in the following situations:
• while navigating or maneuvering in shallow waters or dangerous seabeds,
• while entering or exiting harbor, mooring, or setting sail,
• while traveling at high speed,
• in heavy traffic areas, near breakwaters, canals,
• or while encountering any potential obstacles.
WARNING!
While you are learning to use the autopilot, it is important to practice in calm, open sea, far from shallow water, vessels, or other obstacles.
WARNING!
When you first power up the autopilot, confirm that the bearing of the compass on the screen matches the vessel’s analog compass reading. If there is a significant difference between the readings, contact an authorized technician (CMET or MEI), or contact the Humminbird® Customer Resource Center for assistance.
WARNING!
This product contains chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer and/or reproductive harm.
WARNING!
Disassembly and repair of this electronic unit should only be performed by Humminbird® authorized service personnel. Any modification of the serial number or attempt to repair the original equipment or accessories by unauthorized individuals will void the warranty.
NOTE:
We recommend that you read this manual completely so you understand the installation and operation requirements before you proceed. Keep this manual with you on the vessel for your reference.

About the SC 110 Autopilot
The SC 110 autopilot uses multisensor technology and operation modes to provide steering control for any type of vessel. The control head provides graphic and numeric readouts of the course, heading, and rudder movement. If a wind sensor is installed, the apparent wind will be displayed in Wind mode.
There are many available operation modes which allow you to bow target, choose turn patterns, tack and gybe, or navigate a route from an optional-purchase Humminbird® Multi-Function Display. The autopilot system requires specific optional-purchase accessories to enable each of the operation modes. Contact our Customer Resource Center for more information.
We encourage you to read this manual carefully so that you may understand the full capabilities of the SC 110 autopilot.

About the SC 110
Installation
The SC 110 Autopilot control head connects to the SCP 110 Course Computer (CPU) so that it receives input from the Fluxgate Compass, Gyronav Rate Sensor, GPS receiver, and all connected autopilot equipment.
WARNING!
The CPU and all related equipment should be installed by a Certified Marine Electronics Technician (CMET) or an authorized Marine Electronics Installer (MEI). See NMEA.org for details.
1. Connecting the Control Head to the CPU
1. Turn off the power to the CPU.
2. Test route the power cable from the CPU to the
autopilot control head.
3. Remove the CPU cover and insert the cable through
the CPU strain relief for the correct terminal, and proceed as follows:
• Unit 1 (TB7): Remove the terminated block from the TB7 Control Unit 1 connector. Insert the bare wires of the Power/CPU cable into the terminated block connector as shown in Inserting the Wires into the Terminated Block.
• Unit 2 (TB8): If you are connecting a second autopilot (optional-purchase Remote SC 110 Control Head), remove the terminated block from the TB8 Control Unit 2 connector. Insert the bare wires of the Power/CPU cable into the terminated block connector as shown in Inserting the Wires into the Terminated Block.

Installation
4. Tighten the wire connections and slide the terminated
block back into the connector.
5. Replace the cover on the CPU.
6. Route the power cable to the control head. You will
connect the power cable to the control head in a later step.
2. Connecting the TC 110 Joystick
(optional-purchase required)
1. Follow the installation instructions included with the
joystick.
2. Route the accessory cable to the control head. You
will connect the accessory cable to the control head in a later step.

3. Dashboard Mount
Your SC 110 autopilot includes hardware to mount the control head in the dashboard.
NOTE:
You may also purchase Gimbal mount hardware and extension cables for your installation. Contact the Humminbird® Customer Resource Center for more information.
1. Choose a suitable, flat area of the dashboard to
mount the control head, noting the following requirements:
• Control head depth: 3 inches (7.6 cm).
• The area should be protected from waves, shock,
and water.
• The area should be easily accessible for all cables to reach the control head.
2. Tape the paper In-Dash Mounting template to the
mounting location you choose. Make sure the template is level.
3. At a location inside the dotted line on the template,
drill a hole large enough to insert the blade of a reciprocating saw. Carefully begin cutting toward the dotted line, and then follow the dotted line around the template. Remove the template when finished.
4. If the gasket has a foam
center, remove the center.
5. Peel off the liner of the
adhesive side of the gasket. Place the gasket’s adhesive side on the rim on the back of the control head.
6. Insert and tighten the
two threaded rods into the two threaded inserts located on the back of the control head (see Attaching the Bracket).
7. Peel off the second liner
from the gasket, and insert the control head through the mounting hole from the front side of the dashboard.
8. Slide the bracket onto the
two threaded rods.
9. Place a flat washer onto
each threaded rod, and then secure the bracket by placing a lock washer and wing nut onto each threaded rod. Hand tighten only.
Do not overtighten the wing nuts.

10. On the back of the autopilot control head, insert the
power cable into the POWER/CPU port, and if purchased, insert the TC 110 Joystick cable to the ACCESSORY port.
NOTE:
The connectors are keyed to prevent incorrect installation, so be careful not to force the connectors into the wrong ports.
11. Hand-tighten the screw nuts on each cable connector
to secure. Proceed to Control Head Configuration to set up the Autopilot for initial use.
