The Reactor™ 40 Hydraulic Autopilot is Garmin's most responsive and advanced autopilot system for hydraulically steered boats. Designed for both powerboats and sailboats, the system provides safe, stable, and precise course keeping – even when the boat is pitching and rolling in rougher conditions.
The 9-axis solid-state AHRS (Attitude Heading Reference System) minimizes heading error, course deviation, rudder movement, and power consumption, while providing a comfortable and stable ride. The Reactor 40 requires minimal commissioning and calibration and offers flexible mounting options almost anywhere on board.
With patented Shadow Drive™ technology, you always maintain full control: the autopilot automatically disengages when you turn the helm manually – and automatically re-engages when you hold a steady course.
The system integrates seamlessly with compatible Garmin chartplotters, allowing you to control the autopilot, perform search and trolling patterns, and access advanced navigation features with optional BlueChart g3 Vision charts. A professional and reliable solution for boaters who want maximum comfort, precision, and safety on the water.
