Garmin Reactor™ 40 mechanical/retrofit/solenoid corepack is one of the market's most advanced and precise autopilot solutions for both motorboats and sailboats. The system is designed for direct steering systems, cable steering, and retrofit/solenoid solutions, making it extremely flexible – ideal for retrofitting.
With the advanced 9-axis solid-state AHRS technology, you achieve stable heading hold, minimal course deviation, and low power consumption – even when the boat is pitching and rolling in rough seas. The Reactor 40 reacts actively to sea conditions and ensures a smooth, precise, and comfortable voyage.
The system requires minimal commissioning and calibration – The Power of Simple – and can be fully integrated with compatible Garmin chartplotters, allowing the autopilot to be controlled from multiple locations on board. The Reactor 40 supports advanced features such as heading hold, wind hold, step turns, and tacking/gybing, making it ideal for both cruising and sailing in demanding conditions.
If even higher precision is desired, the GRF™ 10 rudder feedback sensor can be added, and there is a choice between three types of linear drives (sold separately), all with built-in rudder feedback. For hydraulic installations, the system can also be combined with Shadow Drive™, which automatically disengages the autopilot when you take manual control of the helm – and re-engages it once the course is stabilized.
Reactor™ 40 is the solution for those who want professional autopilot control, maximum reliability, and full Garmin integration.
