Enhance your marine autopilot setup with the Garmin Quarter-Turn Collar CCU Extension Cable, designed specifically for flexible installations on boats where space is at a premium. This robust 15-meter cable allows you to position your CCU (Control and Display Unit) far beyond the standard 3-meter limit from the ECU (Electronic Control Unit), giving you unparalleled mounting versatility aboard vessels of all sizes—from compact center consoles to larger offshore cruisers.

Why This Extension Cable Matters for Your Autopilot System

In the demanding marine environment, every inch counts. Standard cable lengths often restrict CCU placement to awkward spots near the helm or engine controls. This Garmin extension solves that by extending reach up to 49.2 feet, ensuring your autopilot controls are exactly where you need them: within easy view and access during long passages or tight maneuvers. Crafted with marine-grade durability, it resists corrosion, vibration, and saltwater exposure, maintaining reliable signal integrity even in rough seas.

Seamless Compatibility and Build Quality

Tailored for the GHP Compact Reactor Autopilot System, this black extension cable features Garmin's signature quarter-turn collar connectors for a secure, tool-free attachment. No fumbling with screws or clips—just a quick quarter-turn for rock-solid connections that won't loosen under the constant motion of boating life.

Key Advantages for Serious Boaters

Investing in this CCU extension isn't just about length—it's about optimizing your entire navigation experience. Mariners report easier helm layouts, reduced clutter, and improved visibility of autopilot data during critical moments. Whether you're trolling for trophy fish, crossing open water, or docking in windy conditions, this cable keeps your system responsive and your focus on the water ahead.
