With a complete package designed for powerboats and sailboats, Garmin is making advanced marine technology available to recreational boaters that was previously only available to commercial boats. The Reactor 40 autopilot series is simply the most responsive autopilot system we've ever offered.
Reactor 40 autopilots are highly versatile. Powerboat and sailboat features are available in all corepacks, including course hold, wind hold, tack/beam, incremental turns and more. Simply choose the autopilot that is compatible with your existing steering system.
The Reactor 40 hydraulic autopilot corepack is perfect for all types of hydraulically steered powerboats – inboards, outboards, sterndrives and diesels – or hydraulically steered sailboats. This rugged unit gives powerboat owners an easy-to-use autopilot system they can rely on for navigation. With its 9-axis solid-state AHRS, the Reactor 40 can be mounted virtually anywhere, in any orientation, and requires minimal start-up adjustment. Our patented Shadow Drive technology gives sailors the peace of mind that they remain in control, even when using the autopilot.
9-axis solid-state AHRS
With the advanced 9-axis solid-state AHRS, you can mount the Reactor 40 virtually anywhere and in any orientation. In addition, this new system significantly reduces heading errors, course deviations, rudder movement and power consumption, providing a comfortable sailing experience for everyone on board.
Responds to sea conditions
This amazing autopilot actually responds to sea conditions to keep you on course. Even when the boat is pitching and rolling, you can trust the Reactor 40 autopilot to keep you on the desired course.
Minimal start-up adjustment and calibration
All autopilots require initial adjustment and calibration – without exception. We know you want to just get out on the water, so we made this process as quick and easy as possible. The Power of Simple.
Full integration with Garmin chartplotters
When paired with a compatible Garmin network chartplotter, you have complete control of the Reactor 40 from anywhere on your boat. In addition to staying on course in virtually any weather, the system can easily perform a variety of pre-programmed trolling and searching routines. And with a compatible Garmin network chartplotter and BlueChart g3 Vision charts (sold separately as an optional accessory), you get the industry’s best coverage, overview and detail with up-to-date coastal maps featuring integrated Garmin and Navionics® content.
Stay in control with Shadow Drive technology
The Reactor 40 autopilot features patented Shadow Drive technology. You gain peace of mind knowing that you are always in control, even when the autopilot is engaged. The Shadow Drive system automatically disengages the autopilot if the helm is turned, giving you the freedom to maneuver the boat. The autopilot automatically reengages when you maintain a set course.
