Garmin Compact Reactor™ 40 Hydraulic Autopilot – Starter Kit

The Compact Reactor™ 40 Hydraulic Autopilot – starter pack is the ideal basic solution for boats with a single outboard motor up to approx. 9 meters. The system relieves the helmsman by keeping the heading stable at moderate to high speeds and ensures a smoother, more comfortable voyage. With advanced 9-axis solid-state AHRS technology, the autopilot minimizes course deviations, unnecessary rudder movement, and power consumption – even in challenging conditions with rolling and pitching seas.
Installation is simple with flexible mounting options and minimal calibration. The system can be controlled directly from compatible Garmin chartplotters or via GHC™ instruments and can be expanded with Shadow Drive™ technology for manual steering when you turn the helm – after which the autopilot automatically reactivates. The Compact Reactor 40 can also be integrated into Garmin's network system and supports Auto Guidance routes when using compatible charts.
