Connection Considerations

When connecting the GOS™ 10 hub to power, data, and the engine or engines, observe these considerations.

  • You must connect the GOS 10 hub to the same NMEA 2000® network as the chartplotter you plan to use when programming and interacting with the Garmin OnBoard™ engine cutoff system (GOS 10 Hub NMEA 2000 Connection).

  • You must connect the hub to a 10 to 35 Vdc power source using the included wiring harness (GOS 10 Hub Power Connection).

    • You must connect the hub to the same power and ground as the engine ignition signal.

    • When extending the power and ground wires, you should use 18 AWG (0.75 mm²) or larger wire.

  • You must connect the hub to the kill switch or ignition signal wire or wires from your engine or engines using the included wiring harness.

    • The wire or wires used for this connection from the included wiring harness depends on the type of cutoff method used by your engine (Garmin OnBoard Engine Shutoff Connections).

    • When extending the engine cutoff wires, you should use 22 AWG (0.34 mm²) or larger wire.
