Garmin Autopilot Buzzer

Enhance Your Boat's Autopilot Safety with Audible Alerts

Picture this: you're out on the open water, relying on your autopilot to handle the helm while you monitor charts or enjoy the scenery. Suddenly, a subtle course deviation occurs—would you want to miss it? The Garmin Autopilot Buzzer steps in as your vigilant audio companion, delivering clear, unmistakable beeps directly from your GHP 10 system. Wired seamlessly to the Course Computer Unit (CCU), it ensures you're never caught off guard by critical alerts like off-course warnings or system notifications.

This compact black buzzer isn't just an accessory; it's a smart upgrade for any skipper prioritizing safety and awareness. In the dynamic marine environment, where visual cues can be overlooked amid waves, glare, or distractions, audible feedback proves invaluable. Boaters who've added this to their setup often rave about the peace of mind it brings, especially during long passages or in busy waters.

Seamless Integration with GHP 10 Autopilot Systems

Designed exclusively for Garmin's GHP 10 marine autopilot, this buzzer plugs into your CCU with minimal fuss, transforming silent signals into actionable sounds. It's perfect for boats where the helm station might be distant from displays or in setups with multiple crew members who need instant notifications.

• Instant Audible Feedback: Hear alerts for deviations, low battery, or sensor issues without glancing at screens.
• Compact and Discreet: Its sleek black finish blends into any console or panel, maintaining your boat's clean aesthetic.
• Reliable Performance: Built with Garmin's renowned durability, it withstands the rigors of saltwater exposure and vibrations.

Whether you're retrofitting an existing GHP 10 installation or building a new one, this buzzer elevates the entire system's usability, making your voyages smoother and safer.

Why Audible Alerts Matter on the Water

In boating, seconds count. Visual alarms on multifunction displays are great, but they demand constant attention—something that's not always feasible when trimming sails, fishing, or navigating crowds. This buzzer addresses that gap by providing immediate auditory cues, reducing response times and enhancing overall situational awareness.

From weekend warriors on center consoles to offshore adventurers on larger vessels, users report fewer missed alerts and quicker corrections. It's a simple yet effective way to layer redundancy into your autopilot setup, aligning with best practices from seasoned mariners and safety experts.

Effortless Setup for Real-World Reliability

Connecting the buzzer is straightforward for those familiar with basic marine wiring. Route the wires to your CCU, secure the connections, and mount it where the sound carries best—perhaps near the helm or companionway. No complex programming required; it syncs automatically with your GHP 10's alert protocols.

Pro tip: Pair it with Garmin's NMEA 2000 network for even broader integration, ensuring alerts propagate across compatible devices. This setup has proven itself in diverse conditions, from choppy bays to extended bluewater runs.

Built to Last in Harsh Marine Conditions

Garmin's engineering shines through in every detail. The buzzer features robust construction that resists corrosion, UV damage, and moisture—essentials for life at sea. Its solid-state design means no moving parts to fail, delivering consistent performance year after year.

Backed by Garmin's commitment to innovation, it's part of a lineup that redefines marine reliability, helping you focus on the adventure rather than equipment worries.
