With the Garmin NMEA 2000 analog rudder angle adapter on your boat, you can give new life to your old indicators and make the transition from an analog to a digital system. The easy-to-use adapter collects the data generated by traditional analog indicators and converts the data into an NMEA 2000 signal so that you can create and expand your network without replacing all the boat’s equipment.
Connect to your network
With the Garmin GRA 10 adapter, you can convert the analog information provided by the rudder angle sensor (not included) of the boat and send it to the NMEA 2000 network. Thanks to the GRA 10 adapter, you will be able to observe the rudder angle information on the compatible Garmin screens that you have connected to the NMEA 2000 network.
Simple update
Garmin’s NMEA 2000 range of analog adapters is easy to add to an existing marine network. Once installed, the adapter data can be viewed through the Garmin GMI 10 digital nautical display and other compatible Garmin devices. The ease of installation will help you move your old controls to the digital age.

FAQs
You may need heat-shrink tubing, a heat gun, cable ties, and additional NMEA 2000 cabling and connectors (optional).
Install the adapter at least 2 in. (5 cm) from a magnetic compass to prevent interference.
Wear safety goggles, ear protection, and a dust mask when drilling, cutting, or sanding.
Do not install where it is submerged regularly; suitable for areas subject to wash-down, but not for continuous submersion.
Wire the GRA 10 using the provided harness; do not remove any wires from the back of the gauge or sensor.
Connect to the backbone via an included T-connector; if more distance is needed, use a drop cable up to 20 ft. (6 m).
Calibration is done via a compatible Garmin display device through the NMEA 2000 Devices list and on-screen steps.
The adapter requires 9–16 Vdc from the NMEA 2000 bus for power input.
The maximum power usage is 1.1 W, with a Load Equivalency Number (LEN) of 2 (100 mA) on the NMEA 2000 network.
