GFL 10 Installation and Configuration Instructions

Troubleshooting the Gauge Type

When connected to a gauge, the GFL 10 adapter gauge type is set to auto Detect by default,

and the adapter automatically detects the type of gauge it is connected to. If the fluid-level

reading on a connected Garmin chartplotter or marine instrument changes with the engine

RPM, the adapter may be detecting the wrong type of gauge.
note: The fuel level changes when the boat is moving. Test the gauge-type setting when the

boat is not moving.

To test the gauge-type setting:

1. When the boat is not moving, put the engine in neutral.
2. Use the throttle to increase the engine RPM. If the fluid-level reading changes with the

engine RPM, change the gauge type.

To change the gauge type:

1. From the NMEA 2000 Devices list, select the GFL 10 device.
2. Select an option:
